The first comprehensive specialist book on the subject. For everyone interested in the future of the automobile and wanting to know how the mobile revolution will change our world. The current discussion about the internal combustion engine is almost irrelevant. The much more important debate concerns how we want to be mobile in the future. The answer: Only self-driving cars can meet our societal, ecological, and economic demands. The development and integration of these vehicles into our urban and rural environments is the focus of this book: What does the technology look like and how will it be used? How will it change our lives and what regulatory challenges will politics face? What consequences does this have for the traditional and new players in the German and global automotive industry? These and other questions need to be answered for the revolution of cars to succeed.
