7th German-American Mobility Dialogue
The shift towards electric and autonomous vehicles has initiated a dramatic transformation of the automotive landscape, with several surprises in recent months and quarters. In the bigger picture, this revolution encompasses a leap from conventional driving and propulsion systems to innovative electric and electronic systems, highlighting the increasing influence of software, data, and connectivity.
The 7th German-American Mobility Dialogue serves as a forum to explore the dual pathways of automotive innovation: the pursuit of cutting-edge technology and the refocusing on a simplified, ‘unplugged’ driving nostalgia. The gathering aims to critically evaluate the potential and boundaries of these trends for the automotive and mobility sector, fostering a transatlantic exchange and networking around ideas and strategies. We seek to illuminate a productive path forward reconciling technological advancement with environmental responsibility and user-centric design, to pave the way to a collaborative and sustainable future for mobility.
