This white paper aims to provide a holistic perspective on the benefits of autonomous mobility solutions, which operate without a human driver (also known as “self driving” or “autonomous vehicles”), while also considering the status quo of this technology, its benefits and its challenges. This paper presents and describes the most relevant use cases for these solutions to foster a better understanding of the technology, encouraging its use and acceptance. This paper also serves as a navigational guide, equipping the general public, users, as well as non-users of autonomous mobility with a comprehensive understanding of the current landscape, the benefits and the challenges of autonomous mobility solutions.
This white paper is the first of a series of papers which will address different target groups specifically. The aim is to create awareness of the opportunities and challenges of autonomous mobility in different use cases from several perspectives. The increase of trust and acceptance in autonomous mobility requires further approaches and methods which will be addressed as part of this series.
