Availability

Mobility options should, if possible, be available everywhere and at all times. But how can that be achieved at an affordable cost?

An expensive asset

A passenger car holds the promise of freedom, but it is associated with high costs. Public transportation is less expensive but often fails to offer a genuine alternative.

The cost differences between individual methods of transport, such as the passenger car, and public means of travel are already huge. The same is true of short-term availability. Intermodal mobility, which involves various methods of transportation on a given route, is blurring the line between individual mobility and public transportation. Intelligently managed and perfectly coordinated, this new mix of transportation options should unite all benefits.

Mobility: Available anytime, anywhere?

Individual mobility is a costly commodity if it means owning your own car. In the future, reaching a destination should be as convenient using different modes of transport, including robo-taxis, as it is with your own car – but at a much lower cost.

How Autonomous Driving will Change the Market

Car manufacturers are not the true driving force behind the trend toward automated and autonomous driving. Rather, it is the mobility service providers, fleet operators, cities and delivery services that are far more interested in this technology.

How Autonomous Driving will Change the Market

Car manufacturers are not the true driving force behind the trend toward automated and autonomous driving. Rather, it is the mobility service providers, fleet operators, cities and delivery services that are far more interested in this technology.

Affordable and autonomous

In the future, it should be as convenient to reach a destination using a mix of different methods of transportation as using your own car - including robot taxis - but at a greatly reduced cost.

Experts expect mobility to increasingly become a service, based on the premise of always reaching the destination comfortably, safely, and quickly. Success lies in smartly using several modes of transport. Electric scooters and self-driving shuttles are options that have great potential, both in relieving urban traffic and saving costs.

High acceptance anticipated for self-driving taxis

High acceptance anticipated for self-driving taxis

In a survey of 7,755 participants from 116 countries, the majority said that they would enjoy riding in robot taxis. This high level of acceptance is also linked to cost pressure. In the EU, private households spend an average of 12.8 percent of their total expenditure on personal mobility.
