Disneyland Paris installs anti-collision system at Autopia after 33 years
Disneyland Paris began equipping Autopia with an anti-collision system after 33 years. The technology was intended to reduce bumps between the self-driven cars, first on the right-hand track and later across the attraction.
More context
In 2025 Autopia received a safety upgrade suited to a ride that had been operating since 1992. After 33 years, Disneyland Paris began installing an anti-collision system for the retro-futuristic cars. Guests still steer the vehicles themselves along guide rails, spread across several tracks that together cover 2.4 kilometres. Bumping is not officially part of the experience, but with this type of ride it can happen when cars get too close to one another. The new system was designed to reduce that problem. According to Looopings, the technology was already active on the right-hand track and would later be rolled out across the rest of Autopia. For visitors, the heart of the attraction remains the same: the playful act of driving the car yourself. The change is nevertheless meaningful. It shows Disneyland Paris updating a long-running classic not only through maintenance, but also through gradual improvements in safety, comfort and reliability.
