(CercleFinance.com) – The group announces that a French consortium will deploy fully autonomous minibuses in the city center of Châteauroux.

The consortium includes: Renault Group for the robotic electric minibus platform, EasyMile for the autonomous driving system, StatInf for the validation of critical software elements, Equans for the Operation Assistance and Passenger Information system, Alstom for the connected security infrastructure and communication protocols and Keolis for the operation and maintenance of these new public transport services.
