In the future, autonomous vehicles are planned to play an important role also on water. In an interview, shipbuilding expert Dr. Christian Masilge explains what benefits this technology offers.

An electric race car without a driver barreling down the track and a car sharing provider steering its automobiles from an office. Two further steps toward making autonomous mobility a reality.

Driverless service vehicles are capturing their place in mobility around the globe – while paving the technology’s way into passenger cars.

Whether hybrid or fully electric, whether 48 or 800 volts, Schaeffler’s modular powertrain portfolio has the right solution for any e-car.

Schaeffler is steadily expanding its involvement in autonomous mobility based on intelligent chassis systems.

Alternative drive concepts, new types of controls or self-driving vehicles – these are subjects that have been fueling the imagination of automotive engineers not only in our day and age.

Limits exist for the purpose of being pushed and shifted. Just like technological innovations have done time and time again with the limits of what’s feasible. Janis McDavid is happy that this is so.

Whether or not the future will belong to self-driving vehicles has long ceased to be the question, it’s only a matter of when.
