Driving the Future of Mobility

This challenge refers to startups focusing on technologies which enable self-driving vehicles, including sensors, processors, artificial intelligence or other.

The outlook of full automation is when a vehicle can perform all driving tasks under all conditions that a human driver could perform.

Some functions of the current state of automation referred to as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) include:
- Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping System
- Advanced Parking Assistance
- Intelligent Speed Adaption, Emergency Brake Assist
- Human-car interfaces, Head-Up Displays
- Night vision
- Traffic Sign Recognition
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Detection
- Driver Drowsiness Detection, E-Call Telematics

You can apply to this challenge regardless of your industry focus as long as you think your solution is applicable.

This challenge is relevant for innovators with technologies which enable a vehicle to communicate with other vehicles, transportation infrastructure and cloud servers.

Some examples include but not limited to:
-Energy management
-IoT
-Smart Home
-Vehicle to Vehicle
-Vehicle to Infrastructure
-And other

You can apply to this challenge regardless of your industry focus as long as you think your solution is applicable.

The challenge Mobility as a Service is aimed at startups with transportation business models and supporting technologies which do not require privately owned cars and light trucks.

This challenge is focused on solutions that shift away from personally owned modes of transportation towards solutions that are consumed as a service. This refers not only to individual mobility but to the movement of fleet and goods as well.

For example:
-Ride Hailing
-Delivery Services
-Sharing (car, fleet, ride etc.)
-Carpooling
-And other

You can apply to this challenge regardless of your industry focus as long as you think your solution is applicable.

This is a great opportunity for innovators with technologies and services which offer improved quality, timing or cost of the mobility experience.

This challenge includes but not limited to the the following levels:
- Car Services (For example: Car sharing, Parking & Charging, Ride-sharing, Taxi & Limousine, Automated Driving)
- Car Ownership (For Example: Finance, Maintenance, Connected Services)
- Macroeconomic aspects (For Example: City Planners & Lifestyle, Energy Storage, Integrated Mobility, Journey Planning, Booking & Payment)

You can apply to this challenge regardless of your industry focus as long as you think your solution is applicable.

Startup, university research team, or individual innovator with an innovative solution or technology are eligible to apply.
