Experiment programme for automated vehicles

SAM PROJECT
French automated mobility team

The government has chosen the SAM consortium gathered around the French Automotive Platform (PFA) to launch a large-scale experiment programme for automated vehicles and make France a land of development, implementation and deployment of automated driving and mobility.

More than 100 M€, nearly 50 Vehicles, 11 Territories

👉 Bois de Vincennes, Châteauroux, Créteil (private parking), Ile-de-France, Les Mureaux, Ariane Espace, Montpellier, Nantes, Carquefou, Paris, Paris-Saclay, Rennes, Toulouse

Goals

SAM is a national project for large-scale experiments in automated driving and mobility on open roads.

The challenge is twofold:

Challenge 1

To develop the use and knowledge of these systems by citizens and local stakeholders

Challenge 2

To build the future regulatory framework, particularly in terms of safety validation by 2023


The project is based on a common methodological approach and targets three application areas: individual mobility, shared or collective mobility and logistics. A large panel of users will test nearly 50 automated vehicles in 11 French territories over a period of 4 years.
