What has Pierre Dupont Lost and Gained?
Lost He has lost the autonomy [freedom] of thought. As all decisions are made for him, he's always told what to do, e.g. "The device accepted his card and told him he can have 1800 francs"and "with some relief he deposited his suitcase [exactly 20 kilos]..."
From the text we gain the knowledge that Pierre has no personality, as he doesn't communicate to anyone throughout his journey.
Gained He has gained freedom, "He was enjoying the feeling of freedom imparted by having got rid of his luggage..." . He can move with freedom and ease throughout his journey.
He has also gained privacy, throughout his journey there isn't anyone interfering in his business.
