Tasks
The study will be conducted within a framework agreement with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry for Munich and Upper Bavaria to provide objective, scientifically-based economic advisory work. Details
Due to the interaction of four megatrends (Connected cars, Autonomous driving, Shared mobility, Electric vehicles: Akronym CASE), the automotive industry is facing fundamental change in the next two decades. The study examines the possible consequences for the industry in Bavaria along on the entire value chain.
Methods
Meta-Analysis of current studies
Data and other sources
Literature research, official statistics
Results
The Bavarian automotive industry will successfully navigate the ongoing transformation towards electric drives. However, there is a risk that manufacturers could become dependent on leading Internet companies in the core area of connected cars.
Rather than subsidizing cell production in Germany, research and development on battery science and technology should be promoted. There is a need for regulation in Germany and Europe in the areas of autonomous driving and alternative mobility services, promoting and rewarding innovation and at the same time strengthening complementarities to public transport.
