In rural areas, dependence on private cars widens inequalities in access to mobility.

Macif is piloting a shared automated shuttle in the Drôme region, with the aim of providing a practical, inclusive solution. At the same time, Capgemini has developed the Pop Car, a compact electric vehicle priced at €12,000 and accessible to people in every region.

These innovations must now be brought to scale. We need to remove barriers and build a shared vision. Success will depend on local, partnership-based approaches and communications that engage people.
