How does a buggy in the age of autonomous cars looks like
2018 5th Dimension Market analysis project.
Autonomous taxis with secure pedestrian detection, buses that automatically and always transport their passengers on time, traffic lights that think along, and above all: silent electric drives. Commercials in the auto industry promise pure urban idyll.
Digital euphoria looks different. But does the development of autonomously driving cars still make sense? In any case. Because the potential of this technology is enormous - for society, security and for Europe as a business location.
The opportunity for society is to better integrate older people or people with reduced performance - and everyone can use their time productively or for recreation.

Automated taxis or buses may be so cheap that rural areas can also be better accessed. Traffic flows more smoothly and goods can be transported in a more rational and environmentally friendly manner.
Depending on the degree of automation, the number of accidents will also continue to decrease, because human error is the cause of at least 90 percent of all crashes. However, this process will be lengthy because conventional and automated vehicles will continue to operate in mixed traffic for many years to come. It must be prevented that the technical systems fail or simply misjudge traffic situations. The development of the best technology for autonomous driving is therefore extremely important.
