  • Mercedes-Benz Chairman Dieter Zetsche Sees a Future for the Auto Industry of 'Endless Possibilities'
    Mercedes-Benz Chairman Dieter Zetsche Sees a Future for the Auto Industry of 'Endless Possibilities' Dr. Dieter Zetsche Chairman of the Board of Management, Daimler AG Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars Division November 5, 2015 Excerpts from Dr. Zetsche's Remarks On the state of the U.S. economy: It’s funny: For decades, people have predicted the downfall of the American economy. In the ’80s, many feared that Japan would soon be the leading economy in the world. In the 2000s, they say the same thing about China. Yet, despite all of those bleak predictions, the U.S. continues to be the locomotive of the world economy. On German hardware: German hardware is just as exciting as American software. On electric cars: Five years ago most people assumed that virtually every auto manufacturer in the world would mostly sell electric vehicles. Today, five years later, we know high purchase prices, cheap gas, range anxiety, a limited number of charging stations – these and many other factors slowed down the rise of electric mobility. Plus to this day, no manufacturer has actually made money on electric vehicles. Daimler was and I think still is the first exception, because we sold our stake in Tesla with a $750 million gain. [Laughter.] On learning cars: Our long-term vision is a learning car that progressively tailors itself to the driver. And that’s important because the more functions the car is equipped with, the more complex it becomes. On car sharing: Daimler is the first auto manufacturer in the car-sharing business. When we launched our service Car2Go, many people thought it was crazy to share cars instead of selling them.
