Ambitious goals of the ZF Group
Ambitious goals of the ZF Group
ZF has laid its own stricter foundation for Vision Zero. The first thing it did was to narrow the original definition of Vision Zero. The long-term goal is to prevent all crashes, regardless of the type or severity. In addition, ZF has added a further and equally ambitious goal from the “zero” concept, namely a world in which cars and trucks no longer produce emissions. The only way to achieve both simultaneously is with all-electric and autonomous mobility.
Ultimately, human failure can only be ruled out when the computer is in control all the time everywhere. Currently, humans cause roughly 90 percent of all traffic accidents and are therefore primarily responsible for approx. 1.25 million traffic deaths annually around the world.
By the year 2050 the EU intends to reduce to zero all deaths caused by traffic accidents on European roads.
