Over the course of the weekend, attendees had the opportunity to board an autonomous shuttle and engage directly with emerging transport technologies. Thanks to strong media coverage and a parallel collaboration with the Ancient Book Fair, the event attracted a wide and diverse audience- including university students, families, senior citizens, and technology enthusiasts.
Key Highlights:
– More than 120 participants joined demonstration rides, held every 15 minutes
– The autonomous shuttle operated continuously, offering hands-on exposure to AV technology
– The GINEVRA team collected valuable feedback on user expectations, accessibility, and experience
– Rich dialogue emerged between citizens, local stakeholders, and innovation leaders on how autonomous mobility can be governed responsibly
The feedback collected will inform the project’s upcoming activities and shape the transnational strategy for responsible AV governance, keeping people at the centre of future mobility transitions.
With this success in Cesena, the GINEVRA project now turns its attention to its next demonstration phase in Bad Schönborn, Germany, continuing its mission to co-design innovation with the communities it serves.
