Stephane Grumbach: Autonomous driving as a Chinese solution to global mobility challenges

In a recent interview with Guangming Online, Stephane Grumbach, Senior Scientist at the National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology (Inria), said that China’s path to autonomous driving is deeply rooted in its energy transition - a shift from electrification to digitalization, from human drivers to algorithm-powered fleets. Anchored in policy, powered by trust, and scaled through technology, this systemic transformation represents a uniquely Chinese solution to reimagining the future of mobility.
