𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩‘𝙨 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙟𝙤𝙗𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙀𝙪𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙖. 🇪🇺➡️🇨🇳 Yesterday, expert Ferdinand Dudenhöffer commented on the current turbulences at Volkswagen and shared his perspectives on what is going wrong in the European automotive market regarding its transition to CO2-free mobility. 🛑❌ A very interesting point of view and very reasonable that the harsh cut in public subsidies for EVs in Germany hit Volkswagen very hard when it was in the scaling phase and needed volume. ✂️↗️ However, we should not forget that the demand crisis in #eMobility is very much a German phenomenon and that in other European countries, EV unit numbers are steadily increasing. 🇫🇷🇬🇧🇸🇪🇩🇰… One thing is clear: We need a strong and successful European Automotive Industry as a backbone of our economy and prosperity. So it is a must to create the best possible framework for the transition of our OEMs. 💪🏻 McKinsey & Company summarized the facts: 📝 The European automotive industry is still three times the size of the Chinese industry in terms of turnover, 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝟭𝟰 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 - around 6% of all employees in Europe - and is a driver of innovation. The automotive industry accounts for almost 30% of the EU's total research and development expenditure, investing around 60 billion euros annually. Excerpt: 💬👁️‍🗨️ ______________ 𝗔𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻 𝗪𝗼𝗹𝗳, ORF : Q: More and more European politicians and parties are saying that getting combustion engines out of the EU by 2035 was a mistake that will severely damage the European car industry. Instead, we should focus on technological openness; on combustion engines with so-called eFuels and on new technologies. And the head of BMW, for example, also says: "The complete end of combustion engines by 2035 will not be achievable." Is that a mistake? Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Dudenhöffer, CAR: A: It's a mistake that this discussion is being held in public. You know, we'll see in 2035 what will be sold then. But to have the discussion today that "we're going into the future with combustion engines" is to talk every customer who drives a combustion engine today out of buying an electric car tomorrow. If the EU then makes electric cars artificially more expensive - through high tariffs - and removes the price advantages that once existed - in the form of environmental bonuses - then they need not be surprised if everything comes to a standstill. We need electric cars by 2030 if we really want to drive CO2-free. That's when we need it, that's when it will come and that's when it will come from China. With the talk of the politicians, with the nonsense of the tariffs, with the abolition of the environmental bonus, we are risking and creating the conditions for jobs in the automotive industry to be exported to China.

When the VDA, the cause of the issue, realizes that the fire sales have begun and they only ever stood in the way of change. Well documented: continued poor judgement and mismanagement of historic proportions. And we all know it when we look. VDA and German politics are all complicit in the ongoing mismanagement of the fossil auto industry. #digitalmobility

Advances in ADAS Feature Development: Corner-Case Detection System CARIAD and Porsche Engineering are collaborating on a project to further develop Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). A core element of this project is the corner-case detection system , which aims to automatically recognize, highlight, and extract rare test scenarios, also known as "corner cases." The automatic analysis of extensive datasets simplifies the work of engineers, as they no longer have to select and analyze each scenario manually. Instead, they can now focus on the scenarios that are most relevant for improving the assistance systems. The corner-case detection system will also support the planning of test drives and endurance-run-campaigns in the future by providing recommendations for countries to visit and the amount of data necessary for being representative during these campaigns. This targeted data collection maximizes the efficiency of data collection and further advances the development of ADAS technologies. When using the proposed corner-case detection system, the incoming data volume could be reduced by up to 90 %. Moreover, the system clusters situations according to country-specific usage scenarios, allowing for a more precise analysis and better adaptation of assistance systems to specific conditions and requirements in different regions. #ADAS #PorscheEngineering #CARIAD Macan 4 Electric: Electrical consumption combined: 21,1 - 17,9 kWh/100 km; CO2-emissions combined: 0 g/km; CO2 Class: A
