EasyMile earns Level 4 autonomy approval in France
By Will Hall - 6th December 2021
France – Toulouse-based autonomous vehicle specialist EasyMile SAS has been granted authorisation by France’s Ministry of Transport and Ministry of Ecological Transition to operate Level 4 autonomous vehicles¹ on public roads.
Level 4 vehicles operate without a human operator onboard, with EasyMile able to deploy its EZ10 battery-electric shuttle on public roads in September 2022. The firm has already deployed Level 4 vehicles for a food bank in Colorado, as well as at the Coffs Harbour Botanic Garden in Australia. The EZ10 vehicles which have been operating at the Toulose Oncopole health campus since March, will transition to fully driverless in the coming months. The service at Oncopole has been running between the main entrance and the remote parking lot, on a 600m mixed-traffic route shared with bicycles, pedestrians, cars and buses.
