Automated and networked driving fundamentally changes our mobility. It is not only able to improve the safety of mobility, but also to reduce the negative environmental impact of transport and make entirely new mobility concepts possible. This allows us to plan and use our time differently, to make better use of route and parking capacities and to reduce congestion. Increased automation offers great potential to shift more freight transport from road to rail. In addition, more effcient logistics planning can
reduce overall freight traffc. DLR develops technologies for automated driving, thereby devising vehicle and mobility concepts, as well as scenarios for their successful introduction. DLR also assesses user acceptance and changes in mobility behaviour.
