Mobility

Back to the overview

Intelligent mobility starts here

We develop mobility concepts of tomorrow

In the FZI Living Lab Future Mobility, we and our partners develop forward-looking software and hardware solutions for intelligent mobility and sustainable transport of the future. Our focus: automated and autonomous vehicles that intelligently perceive their surroundings thanks to state-of-the-art AI systems, Car2X communication, and powerful hardware architectures, and also anticipate traffic situations and move safely in connected road traffic.

From virtual test environments and trials in real laboratories to developing open algorithms, we create a practical environment for research and development.

Contact us if you want to actively shape the mobility of tomorrow.
