2、 and therefore it is likely that the first solutions will only be available on premium and luxury models in high-end segments.For private cars in the lower and midsize segments of volume or budget brands,there might not be high Automation implemented any time soon.But self-driving will not only be f

5、strians,bikers,and scooters.As a result,the AI development for autonomous driving is extremely complex,but driverless Autonomous Driving(Level 4-5)is technically possible today.In the streets of San Francisco,General Motors has started to offer Cruise taxi shuttles without human drivers and Googles

6、Waymo operates its robo taxis in downtown Phoenix,Arizona.In South-East Beijing,the so-called Beijing High-level Automated Driving Demonstration Area(BJHAD),driverless robo taxis both from Pony and Baidu are commercially in action on public roads.Also,in Guangzhou,Pony,WeRide and AutoX are operating

7、 as self-driving traditional taxis.AutoX launched a driverless robo taxi fleet with more than 1,000 AVs in five Chinese mega cities,as well as San Francisco.Since the end of the last century innovation labs have started to work on self-driving technology.As of the early 2000s the Automotive and Tech

8、 industry heavily invested in the development of Autonomous Driving(AD).Getting AI technology to be safe for both passengers and other traffic participants is far more complex and challenging than predicted.It was expected that the shift towards self-driving functions would have come earlier,but tod

9、ay the offer of semi-autonomous vehicles is still limited and there are very few examples of highly Autonomous Vehicles(AV)on the road.However,the transformation from traditional to self-driving cars is expected to come and it wont be a technical gadget.Once fully Autonomous Driving is here,it will

10、have a huge impact on our daily habits and routines.It will change our lives.THE TWO ROADS TOWARDS AUTONOMOUS DRIVING First,there will be individually owned autonomous vehicles(regardless,if purchased,leased,financed,or subscribed)and secondly,there will be shared mobility,so called Mobility as a Se

14、RIVING AND THE IMPACT ON OUR LIFEIn Europe,several fenced facilities(e.g.,at factory sides)have autonomous vehicles in regular use.There have been several announcements that self-driving robo shuttles on specific routes(e.g.,between airports and city centers)or in specific metropolitan districts cou

15、ld be launched in the coming years,predictions as early as 2025.42%2 of consumers expect fully autonomous vehicles that can handle all local roads and environmental conditions by 2025.Experts are more reserved and believe it might take a bit longer before L4/L5 Autonomous Vehicles(AVs)will be broadl

16、y offered and can be used everywhere both on highways,cities and in rural areas.Fully autonomous driving functions are expected to be available in many areas from 2030 onwards.There are enterprises in some regions which will be the first to move towards autonomous driving.Companies in the USA(especi

17、ally in California)and in China are pushing towards self-driving.Some smaller city states are expected to launch self-driving faster than others.European and Japanese car manufacturers are also investing a lot in autonomous,thus there will be specific self-driving pilot areas,but its likely it will

18、take a while before autonomous transport will be possible on a large scale.India,Brazil,and the rest of the world including all the developing markets will have to wait for fully autonomous driving.Nevertheless,in a couple of decades we very likely could live in a world where self-driving is availab

20、sted in the use of AD.Long-haul truck driving might soon become a profession of the past.Automated truck driving will lead towards lower logistical costs,which should result in lower consumer prices.In the USA,Germany,and other countries there are already autonomous trucks on the road and implementa

21、tion of self-driving commercial vehicles on highways are predicted for daily use by the middle of this century.In addition,the last-mile delivery will benefit from AD.The AD delivery pod concept for example,allows consumers to pick-up their package in front of their house.Walmart or UBER Eats in col

22、laboration with Nuro are offering AD food delivery where consumers can pick up their order from an AD vehicle at the sidewalk.Of course,the transportation of people will be a main application for AD.Public transport,taxi offer,ride-hailing(like Didi,Uber or Lyft)and location-to-location shuttles at

23、airports,sporting events,concerts,city centers or other occasions will be the first using autonomous driving.When this happens,the job description of bus and taxi driver will significantly change,a transition period will occur where they will be on board for ensuring safety protocols.Large enterpris

24、es with many sales reps or technical support will also use AD vehicles to increase the productivity of their staff while driving.There will be commercial applications beyond transportation where self-driving is imminent,if not already in operation.AD tractors or mowing machines are used in the agric

25、ultural industry for seeding and harvesting.Lawn care machines in parks or at golf courses will be autonomous.For waste collection,AD garbage trucks could be used.Street cleaning can be done fully autonomously,for instance due to COVID there were concepts for self-driving air disinfection vehicles.A

26、nd the more established AD functions get,the more services are expected to include autonomous driving into their offers.Contribution:Zoox,Inc.5 FUTURE OF MOBILITY:AUTONOMOUS DRIVING AND THE IMPACT ON OUR LIFE|IPSOS VIEWS4IPSOS VIEWS|FUTURE OF MOBILITY:AUTONOMOUS DRIVING AND THE IMPACT ON OUR LIFEPer

27、sonally owned cars are parked,or stationary,for 95%of the time.But Robo Taxis or other shared mobility vehicles would always be on the move.As soon as one passenger ends their AD ride,a new passenger is picked up and heading to the next destination.This means AVs will need to park much less and wont

28、 block so many parking lots.Parking spaces could be transformed into green areas.Less traffic and greener cities will significantly increase quality of living for urban residents.HOW AD CAN REVOLUTIONIZE OUR TIME MANAGEMENT When traveling in self-driving cars there is no need to watch the traffic an

29、ymore,the passenger can do whatever they want they could increase their productivity,by mobile working in the vehicle,participating in video conferences or doing online shopping.Extra time while traveling autonomously could be used for relaxation and wellbeing or sleeping.Consumers can choose betwee

30、n being entertained(by streaming services)or they can use the extra time for communication with others via video conference or playing with children during the trip.A significant AD advantage would be for commuters,who spend hours in the car each day with limited productivity.Consider this thought p

31、iece:A commuter today brings his/her children to school(30 min)and travels to the office(45 min),including parking the car nearby(10 min).After work he/she heads to the grocery store to buy food(30 min)and then drives home(35min).They spend 2.5 hours in the car on a normal working day.All those in-c

32、ar hours could be spent carrying out other tasks.Children,without driving licenses,could take an AD shuttle to school,and the time spent commuting to the office could become mobile working,all while the food is delivered autonomously to your doorstep.Self-Driving vehicles will not only make our time

33、 traveling more comfortable and/or productive,it also will impact time-management and change all our in-home habits.Autonomous vehicles could soon lead to a large disruption to our daily routines.THE CONSUMER BENEFITS OF AD DEMOCRATIZE MOBILITY The worlds population is ageing,and the number of perso

34、ns aged 80 years or over is projected to triple by 2050.3 A major worry for the elderly is loss of mobility.4 Autonomous Driving therefore will be a significant benefit to elderly people keeping or winning back their level of mobility and freedom.Foremost,disabled people with a visual impairment or

35、lacking eyesight who rely on the support of others for transportation,will become more independent.People without driving licenses or who have less experience will get a new freedom to travel where and when they want.SAFER MOBILITY In addition to the gained freedom,traveling will get safer especiall

36、y for elderly people with physical challenges,less experienced drivers,and therefore for everybody else.According to the World Health Organization,there are about 1.3 million deaths due to traffic accidents in the world every year,and more than two people die in traffic accidents every minute on ave

37、rage.Although the growth rate of accidents is relatively slow compared with the rapid increase of mobility,the number of occurrences cannot be ignored,and reduction of accidents will benefit everybody.Today the media is reporting mainly about accidents that are happening with the involvement of driv

38、erless cars.There is nearly no coverage about all the crashes which could have been avoided by using Advanced Driver Assistance Systems(ADAS)or other semi-automated features.To get a significant boost in trial and acceptance of AD,manufacturers need to address consumer worries around safety.Most con

39、sumers arent comfortable giving up the control of driving without knowing the vehicle is safe,but if they can be shown and convinced of its safety they may convert to AD on more journeys.The driver or consumer wants to activate AD when they feel safe based on the conditions and the type of drive it

40、is.Another way of convincing consumers of AD safety will be when it becomes more ubiquitous in commercial applications.Publicly available self-driving transportation experiences will be advantageous to get general consumers exposed and comfortable with the technology.LESS TRAFFIC JAMS,MORE HOSPITABL

41、E CITIES AVs are fully connected and therefore continuously communicate with the environment.Vehicles communicate with vehicles(V2V),with pedestrians(V2P),the infrastructure(V2I),the network(V2N)or with the whole environment(V2X)to achieve anticipatory driving and avoid abrupt maneuvers.Therefore,se

42、lf-driving cars could improve the overall traffic flow by up to 35%5 and reduce traffic jams,especially in metropolitan areas.There would be less wasted time and passengers would suffer a lot less in congestion.Self-Driving vehicles will not onlytraveling more comfortable and/or productive,it also w

44、 chance to experience semi-autonomous features.For the industry,it is promising to see that consumers who have experienced semi-autonomous vehicles have a higher consideration for buying fully autonomous vehicles,compared to those who have no experience.Consideration AD WILL LEAD TO NEW CONCEPTS AND

45、 CHANGE OUR HABITS There will be further aspects and habits of peoples daily lives that will change.Drinking and driving is strictly prohibited,but in the future drinking while in a car can become common.AD shuttles can turn into mobile bar lounges and express restaurants where you can spend time wi

46、th friends while travelling.Perhaps entertainment groups could offer mobile cinemas or AD gaming pods we already see early concepts of this with Audi Holoride.As drivers become users and passengers without the need to stay alert,sleeping while traveling will be the new normal.With such a change in h

47、abits,this could change the hotel business and lead towards AD overnight accommodations with sleep&ride services.Maybe Marriott will decide to offer mobile beds for travelers?AVs could be in constant motion while the AV owner is working at home or in the office.Owners of autonomous vehicles can earn

48、 passive income by providing autonomous rides to others or by delivering goods without their involvement.Many new mobility concepts could become reality.GAUGING THE INTEREST OF AUTONOMOUS DRIVING Many tech enterprises and OEMs in the USA are pushing towards self-driving.However,this doesnt mean that

49、 American consumers are excited about AVs.Today,new car owners in the USA,Japan and Germany are not seriously considering fully autonomous vehicles.But in contrast,the Chinese are far more interested in self-driving vehicles.Overall,Western consumers generally tend to be more reserved,while the Chin

50、ese are more accepting.Therefore,it is not surprising that Chinese consumers are far more open towards new technologies and more interested in self-driving vehicles.The higher consideration in China and Brazil might also arise from a desire to escape the challenges of particularly high traffic densi

51、ty.Consideration6 EDUCATION AND EXPOSURE ARE KEY Within the last two years,there were a lot of Battery Electric Vehicles(BEV)launched with significant media coverage and advertisements while there was less communication about AVs.We see that the interest and consideration of BEVs is significantly hi

52、gher and has been continuously rising over the last two years,while the attitudes towards vehicles with full autonomous mode remained unchanged.Compared with 2020 and 2021,there was no significant movement in the overall interest in self-driving cars.It will be interesting to see if the Automotive a

53、nd Tech industry will be able to positively boost the opinions towards AVs in the coming years,as more and more models will be in the market which offer at least semi-autonomous driving(Level 2-3).USA31%20%49%Germany33%21%46%Japan25%31%34%Brazil51%30%18%China51%27%14%Would considerNeutralWould not c
