Visionary Mobility

Electro-mobility is the number one topic when it comes to our mobility in the future. What does the vision of BMW, Germany’s main pioneer in the field, look like? For the first time providing extensive insight into BMW’s workshop of ideas, this volume presents the multi-faceted concept for sustainable and visionary mobility right up to autonomous driving.

description

In the spring of 2008, a think tank of engineers, designers, trend researchers, and financial experts met on a factory floor of BMW’s parent plant in Munich to rethink mobility. This volume traces the exciting venture in its complex development, while also looking at the future. A main focus is on the major challenges of our time — climate change, scarcity of resources, megacities — and the solution approaches: technological innovations, networked mobility, sustainability in production and the use of renewable materials. Autonomous driving plays a particularly important role. Terrific close-ups and design drawings present all models from the BMW i3 and the BMW i8 to the BMW i Vision Future Interaction.
