#09 Best of Shaping Mobility Podcast:
Crash course on the future of mobility
Shaping Mobility – The Volkswagen Podcast – Episode 8
It’s almost unprecedented for our mobility to be changing as rapidly as it is today: electric models race from one sales record to the next, software updates determine the strengths and weaknesses of our cars. Autonomous driving is on the verge of evolving from a vision into a business model – and climate neutrality will be a requirement for all future transport services.
Please note: this Podcast is only available in German language.
Big challenges – exciting topics. In the Shaping Mobility Podcast, we discussed the transition with our guests. In a best-of-edition, we summarise key messages as a crash course on the future of mobility:
• The electric engine is the most logical drive system by far for climate-friendly cars.
• When charging: the more renewable energy, the greater the benefit for the environment.
• Electric cars do away with traffic noise, which increases the quality of life.
• Cobalt and Co: when it comes to raw materials, Volkswagen focusses on high standards and transparency.
• The (electric) car is becoming a smart device – similar to a tablet or smartphone.
• The automotive industry allows IT specialists to get involved in developing the car of tomorrow.
• Self-driving cars make fewer mistakes than people – making traffic safer.
• Robot shuttles are a strong addition to buses and trains, particularly in major cities.
