Tomorrow’s mobility will be autonomous – and so numerous OEMs and suppliers in the automotive industry are researching physical systems and digital applications that will enable vehicles to drive fully autonomously in the future. Expectations are high: The Volkswagen Group alone aims to generate around 30 percent of its revenue from autonomous driving services by 2030. But will autonomous driving become a game changer and an essential part of future mobility? Are the high investments and expectations justified? Will self-driving shuttles have a lasting positive impact on traffic? Based on exclusive primary data, metadata analyses and existing data from our projects, we develop various scenarios. This gives you a valid insight into the opportunities afforded by autonomous driving. We will also present the first results from the study of the same name that we are currently compiling with the Fraunhofer Institute and Motor Presse Stuttgart. It will then be published in full in the fall of 2022. Mobility Services Stage M | 01:35 - 01:55 pm | Impulse Session

The human brain is a remarkable product of evolution. Unfortunately, the brain activity that has kept our species alive for millions of years is preventing us from achieving full equality today. At this introductory presentation, you will learn how the human brain reacts instinctively when faced with the unexpected – such as saber-toothed tigers or female leaders in the technology industry. It shows the effects and consequences of stereotyping and prejudice, and what a bias-free world could look like, for example, by becoming allies of disadvantaged people and working together to create a world of opportunity and diversity. The world can only change if we check our own behavior as soon as we are confronted with the unknown. Are you on board? Personal Development Stage P | 04:45 - 05:05 pm | Personal Development
