The Paris International Motor Show kicked off after a two-year hiatus due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, as this session focuses on the auto industry's shift to electric transportation and the search for alternative fuel sources, especially hydrogen.

Visitors to the Paris exhibition, one of the largest international exhibitions in terms of the number of visitors, witnessed a significant increase in the impact of artificial intelligence technology on the automotive industry, especially the use of electronic driver assistance systems.

The Paris fair kicked off its activities last Monday with a visit from French President Emmanuel Macron, as the 89th edition of the exhibition seeks to restore momentum to the exhibition platform that provides the opportunity for visitors to experience new things.

The organizers of the exhibition are trying to attract visitors through a new cycle while expanding the daily program and allowing them to get closer and more directly to the new cars.

Although the exhibition in its previous session in 2019 received about one million visitors, most of whom came to test new versions of cars, the new session is not immune to the decline in turnout.

And absent from the current session of the exhibition are a number of famous brands in the world of cars such as Volkswagen, Audi and BMW of Germany. The German company Mercedes-Benz is also absent from the exhibition, despite its participation in a simultaneous event in Paris as well.
