Leading the way to the future of mobility. Awards for fascinating design, exemplary safety concepts, and outstanding comfort keep confirming our role as a pioneering automotive company. With strong brands, innovative vehicles and intelligent mobility concepts, we are shaping the future of mobility. www.daimler.com amcham germany viewpoint Mobility 4.0 – A New Era of Automobiles We are experiencing a unique phase of innovation: Digitization is changing the faces of economy and society in a disruptive process. Following the media, trade, services and industry sectors, mobility is now the new big field for innovation. And we are not just talking about an evolution or revolution of the automobile, but rather the recreation of the car as a system. The car of the future will be a fully digitized and highly complex © Bundesregierung/Kugler platform for mobility, information and communication. It will turn into the “third place” – in Alexander Dobrindt addition to the home and the office – and become another center of life and work. Federal Minister of Transport and Digital Infrastructure A precondition for this is automated and connected driving. This innovation is the starting point of a true efficiency revolution and offers enormous potential for growth and prosperity. I want us to tap into this potential to enable Mobility 4.0 on behalf of the government. To this end, we need to tackle three tasks: upgrading infrastructure, promoting innovation and advancing interconnection. Nationwide high-speed broadband is a requirement for Mobility 4.0. We have joined forces with the private sector to invest billions in broadband in order to achieve our goal of provid- ing basic Internet services with a connection speed of at least 50 Mbps nationwide Automated and connected by 2018. driving are the starting points My aim is to promote a paradigm shift from manual control by the driver to auto- matic control by the vehicle. I will reveal the first details as to how we want to bring of a true efficiency revolution Mobility 4.0 to the road at the International Motor Show (IAA) in September. An intensive dialogue between industry and academia, for example in the framework of the “Automated Driving” round table, has already been initiated. In order to test innovations in practice, we are setting up a digital Autobahn test bed on the highway A9 in Bavaria. Here, we can test and assess new applications and emerging technologies, such as automated driving as well as vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications under normal traffic con- ditions. We are offering the private sector this test bed in order to get them to join our efforts to promote innovation in Germany. It is imperative that we view big data as an opportunity. Today, modern standard vehicles are no longer conceivable offline; their software code is more complex than that of a space shuttle. Up to 70 small com- puters collect and process a huge amount of driving data and generate more than 25 GB of data per hour of driving. In the future, real-time data exchange between cars and highway infrastructure will make traffic flows predictable, relieve congestion and reduce accidents. In order to tap into this potential, we must discuss the opportunities that big data provides in addition to the risks involved. I am convinced that if we can complete these three tasks, we will experience a digital economic miracle and transform into an innovative society.

  • Five Million Audi Quattro Drive Systems – Victory Lap for a Superior Technology
    Five million Audi quattro drive systems – victory lap for a superior technology • Five millionth Audi with permanent all-wheel drive rolls off the assembly line • A successful 33 years for quattro on the road and in motorsport AUDI AG celebrates a very special event today – the five millionth Audi with a quattro drive system. The car is a white Audi A6 allroad 3.0 TDI; it rolled off the assembly line at the Neckarsulm plant. The record is a testament to the leading role played by the pioneering all-wheel drive – no other premium brand in the world can claim such high sales figures for a four-wheel drive or a comparable range of models boasting more than 140 quattro variants. quattro technology debuted in 1980 in the legendary, original quattro car. Adding together all of the available body types, engines and drive systems amounts to more than 140 different models. Audi offers the widest range of cars by far with all-wheel drive: the Audi Q7, R8, A4 allroad, A6 allroad as well as all S and RS models are available exclusively with quattro drives; Audi offers it as an option in all other model lines. "quattro is one of the key pillars of our brand and has been a critical factor in our successful history," said Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG. "The quattro permanent all- wheel drive makes it possible to directly experience our 'Vorsprung durch Technik.' We are committed to our pioneering role and will continue to develop this advantage with new technologies." quattro is more than a technology – it is an icon.

  • Ohne Knautschzone
    Deutschland Ohne Knautschzone Innere Sicherheit Nach dem Rauswurf von BND-Präsident Gerhard Schindler wachsen die Zweifel, ob die Regierung wirklich eine grundlegende Reform des affärengeplagten Geheimdienstes will. urz vor seinem Rauswurf spottete Gerhard Schindler über den Seifen - Kspender auf einer BND-Toilette. Es war vor drei Wochen, Schindler stand im Kaminzimmer seiner Präsidentenvilla in Pullach und plauderte gewohnt jovial mit einer Gruppe Journalisten. Drei Jahre lang sei ihm oben im ersten Stock regelmäßig der Seifenspender aus der Wand in die Hand gefallen – erst seit einem Monat sei das Ding endlich repariert. Man sehe es ja selbst, scherzte der Chef, hier, vor den To - ren Münchens, entfalte der Bundesnach - richtendienst (BND) einen gewissen „mor - biden Charme“. Alles ein bisschen vorgest - rig. Man müsste mal durchlüften. Schindler hätte sich noch mehr zuge - traut als sanitäre Reparaturen. Doch die großen Aufgaben in seiner Behörde soll nun ein anderer bewältigen. In zwei Mo - naten wird Schindler Expräsident sein. Am Mittwoch gab Kanzleramtsminister Peter Altmaier (CDU) überraschend Schindlers Abberufung zum 1. Juli be - kannt. Noch überraschender war aller - dings, dass ihm mit Bruno Kahl ein Mann nachfolgen soll, der im Finanzministerium die Privatisierungsabteilung leitet und mit Geheimdiensten bislang nur am Rande zu tun hatte. Für die Nachfolge des 63-jähri - gen Schindler hatten zuletzt mehrere Na - men kursiert. Kahl wurde nie genannt. Altmaier mühte sich, den Wechsel als „wohlgeordnetes Verfahren“ darzustellen. Tatsächlich aber wurde hinter den Kulissen seit Monaten um die Personalie gerungen – und damit auch um die Zukunft des BND. L Drei Jahre nach Beginn der NSA-Affäre E I H T geht es nun um die Frage, ob die Regierung N A I T ernsthafte Konsequenzen aus dem Abhör - S I R H skandal ziehen und ihre Geheimdienste C an die kürzere Leine nehmen will.
