Transport committee  Thank you for your question. I have actually been at Transport Canada's and PMG Technologies' Motor Vehicle Testing Centre in Blainville for two days.

Transport committee  Thank you for your question. It's a bit tricky to make precise predictions for this—we need a crystal ball—but there will definitely be a kind of hybrid traffic. If you look at the pace of evolution of the technology, right now we have achieved ADSs, automated driving systems, t

Transport committee  Thank you very much for inviting me to appear before you and for giving me the opportunity to share my opinions on the field in which I have been working for more than 30 years. We often have to ask ourselves questions about the motivation that drives us to make autonomous vehic
