Abstract: Abstract Government behavior is one of the key factors shaping the coming era of autonomous mobility. This chapter explores the evolution of government policy and regulations in the 2010s for the commercial deployment of autonomous vehicles (AVs). This study explores the cases of Korea and France as they are major players in the global automotive industry and, at the same time, take contrasting approaches to the emergence of autonomous mobility. They have in common that AVs were set as a national strategic sector in the early 2010s for industrial competitiveness. Various policy measures and regulation changes have been followed in four areas: (1) research and development (R&D) and tests, (2) legal and regulatory framework, (3) infrastructure for AV deployment, and (4) social acceptance. The two countries take different approaches. While France takes a demand-pull approach, focusing on developing autonomous mobility, Korea takes a tech-push approach, focusing on developing autonomous vehicles. This difference reflects each country’s country-specific socio-economic context and their government’s perspective on autonomous driving.
