SPooNy has been selected by JC Decaux to be the new smart character within their experimentation in Rouen. With Renault and Transdev, JC Decaux will propose to citizens to take a tour within an autonomous car. Cars will stop at the JC Decaux shelter, and do a tour within the area.

You can see below a few screenshots of the scenario and the connected services.
