Automotive engineering

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Katja Rösler

The demographic change in the vehicle industry is characterised by a wide variety of changes to different vehicle concepts. These include automated driving, user acceptance and alternative drive systems. Aspects such as intelligent mobility, emission reduction, electrification and the driving behaviour of various vehicles play a major role here. Mobility in large cities is constantly being redesigned with regard to micromobility concepts in order to improve second-row parking and relieve congestion on the roads. Another important topic is the mission to achieve zero accident fatalities.
