Mobility
For the Mobile Lives Forum, mobility is understood as the process of how individuals travel across distances in order to deploy through time and space the activities that make up their lifestyles. These travel practices are embedded in socio-technical systems, produced by transport and communication industries and techniques, and by normative discourses on these practices, with considerable social, environmental and spatial impacts.

Can autonomous vehicles on the road play a part in the ecological transition?
Webconference – 11 mars 2021
For several years now, autonomous vehicles, also called self-driving vehicles, have been greeted with extraordinary enthusiasm. They are presented as the future of motorized mobility, whether in terms of safety, services or ecology, and they appear to question the relevance of traditional public transport. Yet many questions persist. On this page, you can watch the videoconference where the Mobile Lives Forum and the thinktank La Fabrique Écologique present the conclusions of a report conducted on this issue.
Conference organized by the Mobile Lives Forum and La Fabrique Écologique
At a time when road-based autonomous vehicles could define the future of mobility and while the transport sector faces the urgent need to reduce its CO2 emissions, the Mobile Lives Forum asked the French thinktank La Fabrique Écologique to assess the actual contribution of this innovation (excluding freight transport) to the ecological transition by 2050, which is the deadline set by the French government to reduce transport-related greenhouse gas emissions by a factor of 33 compared to today.
