AUTOMATED DRIVING WILL INCREASE SAFETY, COMFORT AND EFFICIENCY BOTH FOR THE DRIVER AND THE TRAFFIC SYSTEM.

Always safe (also without automation by an optimized perception).

IMPROVED TRAFFIC AND DRIVING SAFETY.

XXX.

Gaining valuable time by delegation.

IMPROVED DRIVING EFFICIENCY.

Time and fuel savings through optimized driving strategy.

INCREASED DRIVING COMFORT.

IMPROVED DRIVING EFFICIENCY.


AUTOMATED DRIVING IS THE BASIS TO INTEGRATE SINGLE FUNCTIONS TO AN OVERALL EXPERIENCE.

FIRST STUDIES SHOW THAT HIGHLY AUTOMATED DRIVING WILL BE ACCEPTED BY THE CUSTOMER BUT WE HAVE TO CONVINCE THE SOCIETY, TOO.

“The industry is developing autonomous vehicles.

Could you imagine driving such a car if you were able

to intervene in the case of an emergency?”

>> For two thirds of the drivers an autonomous car would be an option.

I am not sure.

Absolutely not.

No, that’s unlikely.

Yes, perhaps.

Results of a survey of 1,000 customers with a German driver’s license:

Liability

Solution for increasing traffic volume

Car sharing

More efficiency - less emissions

Data error

Safe traffic in spite of „always on“

Mobility for all

Technology has better reaction time

Less wasted space for parking

Loss of driving competence Rise of productivity via efficient traffic

Compliant to traffic rules

Swarm accidents

Unemployment

Innovative strength of the economy

(Source: BMW Group Research and Technology, Online-Media Analysis „Social perception of highly automated driving“)

The society's hopes and concerns:

The role of humans in the world of robotics

Cooperative behavior

STARTING FROM 2020 FIRST HIGHLY AUTOMATED DRIVING FUNCTIONS COULD BE OFFERED TO OUR CUSTOMERS. ON

Limited field test of highly automated

driving functions in Germany and

Europe (BMW Group & Continental).

Quantified benefits through large

scale field operational test of

highly automated driving

functions (OEMs/suppliers).

Global rollout of highly automated

driving functions.

Development of an electronic

co-pilot system with the

international automotive

supplier Continental.

2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 …


HIGHLY AUTOMATED DRIVING NEEDS AN AGREED STANDARD AND A JOINT COLLABORATION OF ALL KEY PLAYERS

Large scale field

operational test of

all innovative key

players

Establishing

market potential

and standards Proving

effectiveness of

active safety

Proof of societal and

economic overall benefits Create technical basis
