Renault is one of many major firms testing autonomous vehicle technology.
In September, Daimler Trucks and technology firm Torc Robotics started to test autonomous trucks on public roads in southwest Virginia. Torc is part of Daimler Trucks following a majority stake acquisition.
At the time, Mike Hawes, the chief executive of the U.K.-based Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, told CNBC.com via email that the shift to connected and autonomous vehicles represented "the greatest change to how we travel since the invention of the car." "But safety is the number one priority for the automotive industry and self-driving vehicles are still some way off because of the challenges involved with equipping them to handle all possible driving situations," Hawes added.
Last week, Renault's board voted to end Thierry Bollore's brief spell as CEO of Renault. Chief financial officer Clotilde Delbos was handed the role on an interim basis, with Jean-Dominique Senard named as interim president. According to financial results for the first half of 2019, group revenues amounted to 28.05 billion euros, a drop of 6.4% compared to the previous year.
