ALL FORMS OF MOBILITY Technology and the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are transforming both the way in which we interact with vehicles and the way in which vehicles interact with each other and their environment. Although autonomous vehicles are still in their infancy, with just 2,500 to 3,000 vehicles on the road worldwide, this disruptive technology is already raising important questions about cybersecurity and software protection. LEVEL 4 AUTONOMY: A REALITY IN CHINA AND THE UNITED STATES The adoption of autonomous mobility varies significantly from one region to another. Autonomous mobility is already an everyday reality in 19 cities in China, with an operating area of 600 km2. The country is further accelerating its roll-out to both light and heavy mobility. In the United States, five cities, including San Francisco, Phoenix and Austin, have approved the use of robotaxis, and the market leader, Waymo, has announced plans to expand its service to five new cities. A PORTFOLIO OF INNOVATIONS FOR AUTONOMOUS DRIVING All over the world, the continued growth of autonomous vehicles depends on manufacturers’ ability to overcome a major challenge: ensuring safe coexistence with pedestrians and other vehicles on open roads. OPmobility’s portfolio of products is well placed to address this requirement and ensure smooth, safe, and effective communication between different road users. The Group has developed recognized expertise in advanced lighting, which is crucial in an environment in which humans and machines interact, and in the integration of embedded equipment (radar and lidar). Moreover, with OP’nSoft, OPmobility is redefining software intelligence and embedded software, thereby improving safety and connectivity at all levels.

More than 500,000 robotaxis are expected to be on the roads in China by 2030, 15 times more than in the United States(2). A remote operator will be able to manage up to 35 vehicles in 2040, compared to 3 today(3). 46 | for you, we’re transforming mobility
