Smart mobility
Worldwide, over 1.3 million people die in traffic accidents every year. Among young people, traffic accidents is the number one cause of death. In addition, congestion, especially in the urbanized area, causes great social costs. Digitization and automation of the mobility system and vehicles can make major contributions to reducing these societal challenges.
