Continental is working on the development of a special film technology with which the window can be turned into a display. According to Continental, these car windows will darken automatically or serve as touch-screen displays. The car window becomes a digital interface with a range of features.

Whether it’s the growth of electrified mobility solutions, the increasing interest in autonomous vehicles, both passenger and buses, or in some cases, new forms of urban air mobility, our cities and regions are experiencing a significant infusion of new mobility services, coupled with an evolving mix of public transit services.

Automotive supplier Continental has developed a camera system which will enable systems in self-driving cars to recognize whether drivers are ready to drive manually.

Over the past three years, the practical applicability of artificial intelligence has improved by leaps and bounds. This development is driven particularly by its rapid spread in the IoT, industry and automotive sectors. Edge AI technologies are especially interesting for vision-based and voice-based purposes and the sensor-based detection of anomalies.

Driverless cars that navigate independently, are intelligent and networked - thanks to artificial intelligence methods, Big Data and Cloud Computing technologies in the development of new mobility services, this goal is a big step closer.

A look into the future has always been fascinating. But just as interesting is the look back: what visions of the future did people have in the past? The Birkel collection album "The World of Tomorrow" from 1959 provides an interesting look at the future of the past.

Sekisui is exhibiting at the IAA in Frankfurt for the very first time this year. The Japanese automotive supplier wants to present its concept car there, but also other products.

Many question marks around the autonomous driving could already be clarified, but not yet all. Legal issues remain a challenge. Autonomous cars will soon be on our roads, but can law enforcement keep up with AV innovation?

Are our towns and cities primed and ready to support the driverless revolution? Without digital roadmaps, autonomous vehicles quite literally won’t know where to turn Is archaic infrastructure stalling innovation in the automotive industry? The driverless revolution may be speeding ahead but it won’t get far without the right infrastructure

On Saturday the prototype of a flying taxi from Volocopter GmbH completed its first public flight in a larger European city. The company from Bruchsal in Baden-Württemberg has been developing an aircraft for passenger transport for eight years and already completed a fully autonomous flight with a prototype in Dubai in 2017.
