Press release

Navya reaches a new milestone in autonomous mobility with the first


fully autonomous level 4 operation on a closed site

Villeurbanne, France, July, 09 2020 – 5:45 pm CEST – Navya (FR0013018041- Navya), a leading
company in autonomous driving systems, launches a level 4 fully autonomous shuttle service, meaning
without a safety operator on board. This service has been launched progressively since June 22 nd at
the National Sport Shooting Centre (NSSC) in Châteauroux, France, in partnership with Keolis.

A decisive step towards a fully autonomous commercial offering

Since June 22nd 2020, the "Autonom® Shuttle Evo" shuttle has been circulating within the National
Shooting Sport Centre allowing athletes and visitors to move from the car park to the reception area.
With a distance of 1.5 km, this route is carried out at a maximum speed of 18 km/hour.

This launch is a decisive step towards the development of a transport offering that integrates level 4
full autonomy vehicles (which corresponds to a real autonomy without a safety operator on board).
This service is carried out in complete safety for passengers and other road users.

The service also marks the first-ever global deployment of the "Autonom Shuttle Evo", the result of six
years of experimentation and nearly 200 Navya deployments worldwide. This new "Autonom Shuttle
Evo" version incorporates essential improvements to achieve level 4 autonomy, including:

- Autonomization of functions to offboard the safety operator in a remote


supervision center;
- Reinforced and optimized sensor architecture to offer a wider vision and guarantee safety;
- Revised user experience (passenger information banner with visual and audible
announcements, optimized access for people with reduced mobility);
- Enhanced connectivity to remotely monitor vehicle status in real time and ensure secure
predictive maintenance.

Gradual and secure implementation

Thanks to the continuous improvement of the "Navya Driver" autonomous driving software and the
sensor architecture of the "Autonom Shuttle Evo", the shuttle operates without a safety driver, in a
determined environment and on a predefined route, with off-board supervision that can take control
of the vehicle in real time, if necessary. The presence of other users (pedestrians, cyclists and other
vehicles) on the site is regulated thanks to secure access and reduced driving speed.
In later stages of the experiment, the shuttle will be supervised from a remote control centre. The shuttle
will operate on a route that includes a multi-lane road and intersections with connected traffic lights.

Etienne Hermite, Chief Executive Officer of NAVYA says: “The integration of this level 4 fully autonomous
service operated by Keolis is an important step for Navya. We want to demonstrate that we are going
to provide a truly autonomous transport service. This is the key to deliver on the promise of driverless
and the business model associated. Indeed, even at controlled speed and in a controlled
environment, there are countless commercial uses (industrial sites, campuses, tourist sites, etc.) that
represent as many opportunities for our technology. In the coming months, we will focus on taking the
steps that will enable us to commercialize these use cases.”
