Introduction

Digitalisation and artificial intelligence play decisive roles in future mobility concepts. They will be the mainstays of the fundamental transformation of our mobility system. They are both an opportunity and a challenge to economy and society. So-called enabling technologies such as connectivity, security, sensory systems, big-data analytics, platforms, edge and cloud computing are blazing the trail for digital transformation. These technologies will change mobility supply, as well as demand, by shaping customer preferences, consumer and user behaviour, and working and living conditions.

Due to electrification and digitalisation, the vehicle and mobility industries are currently experiencing the most amount of pressure to change than they have felt in decades. A multitude of new technologies must be explored and industrialised anew.
