Dear reader,
Autonomous driving has the potential to shake up the automotive industry much more than the drive transition is currently doing. If robocars become established, today’s business models will be a thing of the past.

Only competitor Waymo is allowed to stay on the road without a safety driver.
In our topics of the week we are devoting ourselves, among other things, to a project that is unlikely to fail:
