Question 26820 — transportation

Summary

Ms. Aude Luquet questions the Secretary of State, to the Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, responsible for transport, on the adaptation of infrastructure to autonomous vehicles. Technological developments are accelerating and require us to adapt. Mobility will not escape this. Thanks to the mobility orientation law passed recently, we are resolutely turned towards this near future where transport will be more connected and autonomous. Experiments are multiplying, with some predicting the imminent arrival of the first autonomous vehicles in everyday life, others postponing this technology to the decades to come. Still, one issue remains fundamental to developing tomorrow's mobility: the state of road infrastructure. Aging for today's mobility, they are becoming obsolete for tomorrow's. More than just a renovation, it will be necessary to modernize them significantly by making them safer, more connected and capable of exchanging information with the next generations of vehicles. Their development can only take place on this condition and, to date, France is not ready. Indeed, to operate on the road, the vehicles of tomorrow will obviously need quality roads but also road equipment. efficient installed harmoniously throughout the network (ground markings, traffic signs, traffic lights, etc.) and benefiting from serious and regular maintenance. The deployment of 5G, an essential technology for 100% autonomous vehicles, will also be a challenge to guarantee coverage of the entire territory. If we have to work on a French scale, we also need to think more broadly about harmonization quality, safety and signaling standards for road infrastructure at European level so that autonomous vehicles can “read” the road and communicate with it regardless of the country crossed. Therefore, it wishes to ensure that France will be there and sufficiently ambitious in the development of tomorrow's mobility and to ensure that rural areas will not be neglected when it is where expectations are greatest to accommodate autonomous transport. She also asks him if infrastructure harmonization work is being done at the European Union level.
