In rural areas, 85% of the population has no access to public transport.
What if advances in vehicle automation could help create more inclusive mobility? That is the ambition driving the Community of Interest for Automated Vehicles (CIVA), created by Macif.

Watch this video to discover how these automated shuttles will restore mobility for people who currently lack it, and help rebuild social ties.

At the Movin'On Summit, Antoine Perrin gathered testimonials from the people helping this community move forward:

• Benjamin Beaudet, Chief Executive Officer, beti:
  “If we are moving towards automated mobility, it must retain the DNA of transport that people can easily share.”
  
  

• Nicolas Marescaux, Deputy Director, Member Needs & Innovation, Macif:
  “The idea is not simply to get from point A to point B. It is also about rebuilding social ties by creating human connections.”
  
  

• Nathalie Irisson, Member Needs & Innovation Department, Macif:
  “Eight out of ten French people do not have a choice in how they travel. They depend on their private car. But that is not a choice—it is a constraint.”

FOCUS: This solution is already being tested in the Val de Drôme, and the municipality of Crest plans to deploy seven shuttles starting in 2025.
