On Thursday, September 3, Frédéric Simottel, a journalist, met with several technology and business leaders on the BFM Business show Tech & Co. Among those present were Clément David, president of Theodo Cloud, Michel Lévy Provençal, founder of Qapten, and Cédric Ingrand, general director of Heavyweight Studio. The discussion focused on recent developments in autonomous vehicle technology, a rapidly growing field where companies are working to create self-driving cars capable of navigating roads without human input.
One topic of conversation was the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system developed by Tesla, the electric car manufacturer founded by Elon Musk. Recently, France approved the use of Tesla’s FSD technology, marking a key regulatory step in its deployment. The group also discussed Musk’s upcoming launch of the Cybercab, a futuristic, all-electric vehicle designed to operate without a human driver, set to debut in Austin, Texas.
In addition to Tesla, the discussion touched on the expansion of autonomous ride services in London. Uber and Wayve, a UK-based autonomous vehicle startup, are collaborating to offer self-driving rides to the public in the city. This initiative represents a significant step toward integrating autonomous vehicles into everyday transportation systems in urban areas.
The conversation took place as part of Tech & Co, a daily program on BFM Business that airs from Monday to Thursday. The show covers a range of topics in technology and entrepreneurship and is also available as a podcast, allowing listeners to engage with the content at their convenience.
