Question 15615 — industry

Summary

Mr. Philippe Juvin draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty, responsible for industry, to the worrying industrial and technological stalling of the European Union and France in particular, in the strategic sector of autonomous vehicles. While the United States of America (through players like Waymo or Tesla) and China (supported by Baidu, AutoX or BYD) are now deploying large-scale fleets of robotaxis and advanced autonomous driving systems on their road networks, Europe appears to be struggling, suffering a major technological delay. This observation is all the more alarming given that the automobile industry represents one of the historic pillars of the economy and employment on the continent. This competitiveness deficit is not due to lack of scientific skills, but a structural slowness in the transition from research to industrialization, fragmented regulatory barriers at European level and a lack of massive investments in key technologies such as embedded artificial intelligence, high-power electronic chips and connected infrastructures. By falling behind, Europe exposes itself to dependence inevitable technological vis-à-vis the American and Asian software ecosystems, directly threatening its industrial sovereignty and the security of mobility data. Faced with this risk of relegation to the background of a global market estimated at several hundred billion euros, current initiatives seem too timid and scattered to reverse the trend. Consequently, he asks what measures the Government intends to advocate, both at national and European level, to provide the automotive sector with the industrial, financial and regulatory levers necessary to catch up, protect manufacturers and guarantee Europe's independence in the mobility market of tomorrow.
