The Autonom Shuttle Evo by Navya
France – Navya SA, an autonomous vehicle manufacturer based in Villeurbanne, France, has announced it has successfully tested its driverless passenger shuttles at the Linas-Montlhéry circuit in France, which is owned by UTAC (Union technique de l’automobile, du motocycle et du cycle).
Navya trialled its Level 4 autonomous passenger shuttle, called the ‘Autonom Shuttle Evo’, in an urban reality-based scenario, comprising roundabouts, intersections, bike lanes, bus lanes, parking areas, signs, and level crossings. It carried out tasks such as reacting to a vehicle slowing down in front of it and pulling out in front of another vehicle. It also made use of Euro NCAP crash test equipment – the only such available in France.
