Will we really soon no longer be sitting behind the wheel of our own
car, but will only be taken to our destination by driverless electric
taxis? Should cities introduce car sharing? What role will electric
scooters, cable cars or man-carrying drones play in the mobility systems
of major cities? This book finally explains in a generally
understandable way what is really behind buzzwords such as electric
mobility, autonomous driving, digitalization and mobility services such
as car sharing or ride-hailing, how far advanced these technologies are
today, and above all in what relationships and dependencies they are to
each other. In addition to the technical aspects, the legislative and
social trends are also considered, which are important framework
conditions that will have a decisive influence on the mobility of the
future.
