BMWi : Visionary Mobility Hardback

Electro - mobility is the number one topic when it comes to our mobility in the future.

What does the vision of the BMW Group, Germany’s main pioneer in the field, l ook like?

For the first time providing extensive insight into BMW’s workshop of ideas, this volume presents the multi - faceted concept for sustainable and visionary mobility right up to autonomous driving. In the spring of 2008, a think tank of engineers, d esigners, trend researchers, and financial experts met on a factory floor of BMW’s parent plant in Munich to rethink mobility.

This volume traces the exciting venture in its complex development, while also looking at the future.

A main focus is on the major challenges of our time — climate change, scarcity of resources, megacities — and the solution approaches: technological innovations, networked mobility, and the use of renewable materials.

Autonomous driving plays a particularl y important role.
