Based on reporting by Reuters

Estonian ride-hailing company Bolt, automaker Stellantis and Greater Paris officials said Friday they intend to start an autonomous-driving program in the French capital region in 20281.

The three parties said a pilot would look at gaps in current transport and that they hope to begin commercial operations in Greater Paris, including surrounding municipalities, by 2030, according to Reuters1.

Reuters said first deployments are planned in municipalities in the northwest of the metropolitan area, and that Chinese self-driving firm Pony.ai is a potential supplier of the driving technology1.

The news agency also reported that Bolt said Wednesday it plans to test autonomous vehicles on Madrid streets in 20271.
