Automated Driving 2026
18-03-2026 – 19-03-2026 – Frankfurt am Main, Germany
In particular, it is younger and older people and those with a mobility impairment who are most enthusiastic about automated mobility. However, fully automated vehicles are still a long way off. The passenger car sector is currently focusing more on level 2+++. For commercial vehicles too, automation is still at the experimental stage, in spite of real business cases such as automated maneuvering or vehicle platooning.
Local public transportation could become a driving force here. Shuttle buses and bus-on-demand concepts are available in both urban and rural areas and these are likely to become a permanent feature. It is important to identify projects quickly and to create the necessary synergies between public, private, and commercial transportation.
We cordially invite you to present the latest research and development results from your company/institute at the 10th International ATZ Conference “Automated Driving”. Details on submitting a paper can be found in this Call for Papers. We look forward to your proposals for a presentation and to discussing the topic with you once again.
After the conference, your presentations will be published on the Springer Professional knowledge platform.
