Audi study „25th Hour – Flow“: No Congestion in the City of the Future (Example City Ingolstadt)

The “Digital Detox” scenario forecasts the future of mobility, when cities are hesitant to incorporate conditions for autonomous driving. Ride-sharing is not given a chance. And traffic management, too, develops quite slowly… while demand for mobility rises as a result of urbanization and higher urban density. Taking the example of Ingolstadt, only with 80 percent AVs would the traffic system be slightly more efficient than today. The results emphasize how important it is to take an overall view of urban mobility. Self-driving cars require mobility services and smart infrastructure to make the most of their advantages.
