 Thank you. Yeah, thanks Michael for the introduction and I mean, we did agree on that before we started, but special thanks to Don. We had some, we already heard some, some talks, I'm all high up here, we're going on a pilot tour. You only mentioned the autonomous part, but you didn't have a part for a better introduction. Okay. So speaking about the terms, the strategy of BMW, we have four major fields that we have identified to be crucial. Autonomous, connected, electric and shared. In short, ACES. Let me walk you through those fields one by one. Let's have a look at autonomous cars. How does autonomous driving work? The in-car sensors only get you so far, but that's not sufficient. You always need to know what lies beyond where my sensors reach, where am I, literally to my name. And therefore, to answer some of these questions, we need a high definition map, a very, very accurate map, far beyond what current GPS guidance system do. We call that the HG map. When we speak about autonomous driving, what do we mean? What are the layers of the levels of autonomy? The first one would be your classical car, where all the responsibility or the control lies with the driver. As you see, we're going from level 0 to level 5. Level 1 would be, for example, where you have a longitudinal or transverse guide. Level 2, you add on top of level 1 the traffic control. Level 3 is called awareness to take over, meaning the car can handle a lot of situations by itself and will only alert the driver when he can't do any more. Level 4, as you can see here, is called fully automated. There won't be any certain takeover requests. The vehicle will always be able to render itself into a safe situation, being that only for certain routes. Level 5 is autonomous, meaning there isn't even the possibility to steer the vehicle manually, apart from, for example, setting your next destination, setting your next immediate destination or something like that. So you can see the transition of responsibility also, thanks for mentioning that, is going from the driver to the car. What does that mean? If you have a vehicle that is able of fully autonomous driving, there is also the need for more connectivity. The higher the level of autonomy is, the higher the need for connectivity for the vehicle being enabled to communicate with the surroundings, being it other vehicles or being it the infrastructure, for example. Coming to the next field, vision digital, as mentioned, we often refer it to the digital representation of the car. You see in this image, examples for that, car-to-axe communication between the car and the infrastructure, car-to-car communication, and the digital representation of the car allows us to offer multiple services on top of the physical services. Coming, we already covered the sensors, the HD map, as you can see here. We already spoke about the car-to-axe communication where the car connects to the infrastructure, and the testing in a real-world environment is also very important. You see here the topic where we follow up later. We don't do that alone. We have also some very important corporations. Next field of aces, just a brief example for that, electric in my opinion is rather self-explanatory, but if you combine, for example, shared with electric, you see if only 50%, which is a figure out of 2017, of the drive-down speed is 152500 tons of CO2 have been saved. Speaking about digitalisation, as we come from the more technical topics of aces, before we come into the last one, what does digitalisation mean? How does it affect us? Studies say in the next 15 years there will be more changes than in the last 100 years. How does this affect us? For example, urbanisation where people are moving closer together, changes in customer demand, new players in the mobility market, and value-shifting, like the sharing. We already spoke about the millennials earlier. It may not be that important to a younger generation to own a vehicle, but rather to use it when it's necessary, but only in that very moment. This strategy doesn't come out of nothing. It's meant to face the challenges of the future, for example, by innovative vehicle concepts, the intellectual transport system, as one example for connected vehicles, autonomous driving, and mobility services and connected vehicles. What you see here is the expectation of how the world of mobility looks like. We are currently thinking of this as today and going into the future. You have certain market shares, this one is public transport, this is individual transport, meaning you yourself drive in your own car. In between is the on-demand business, until a couple of years back there has been classical taxing, and as in 2018-2019, ride-having services such as Uber or Lyft are quite common. Station-based car sharing, sorry, free-floating car sharing, basically, if you look on that, it's still on-demand mobility, where you do not own the vehicle yourself, but only use it, and if you think of the new players we saw on the last slide, for example, Uber or Lyft, this is basically a taxi with a new sales channel. So what do we mean by that graph here? Expectations and studies show that this will get wider and wider while the amount of public transport or individual transport decrease. This is for example also due to the fact, if you think of autonomous vehicles as part of the on-demand business, it might even more interesting when coming from taxis going to robor taxis for you to use the on-demand mobility. I recognize some of the players for the public transport and for the individual transport, but what is the intent of that players? Basically, we do not know where this line will exactly be, what is the percentage of Google's of the mobility market that's indicated by the question mark back there. So basically everyone is interested in moving the line to its own advantage and therefore increasing its market share. The perspective on the diagram we saw before is where we have the OEM in that case car manufacturer, traditional basic business model. Again, you can see here this one is decreasing, whereas one expecting a growth and a significant growth is in the business as car as a service and more to that in mobility as a service. By adding digital features to one car, we create a smart car which then enables car as a service or mobility as a service. What do those terms mean? Car as a service? At any point in time, I can access a car, use it and don't need to take care of anything like for example fueling, washing, or things like that. Then we're going at what's the further mobility as a service? At any point in time I get offered appropriate suggestions out of different mobility options. One would be for example regional which also offers right handling services to some extent, which would be car sharing or right cooling for example. You see here connected and shared add up nicely. You have the connected cars and you have the possibility to share them. Let's take this one step even further and look at an actual example of car as a service in Spain. What I mentioned earlier is reach out as a free floating car sharing where basically a company owns certain cars and lets you use them. This is a different approach. Mini sharing is where you want to let your mini, your car get used by certain peers as we call them. You know and you trust. The difference is in that case you want to for example reduce the total cost of ownership or maybe you just want to avoid questions like when you ask your kids where did you park the car in the city of Barcelona for example. It can be quite a big question or even where did you leave the keys? It's basically the same thing. It's a connected car, it's a smart car. You can use your app to open the car to start the engine. You do not need the keys anymore. Let's have a look at how the user journey will look like. So we have here someone who owns a mini is now inviting a person called Maria Sanchez to allow her to use the car. He's inviting her saying this is the car, do you want to use it? Next step is Maria is going in the app and basically saying next Tuesday night or next Tuesday afternoon I would like to use the car. Is it free? So you use the calendar app to say you see here from the little red dots at some point when is the time and date where the car is available and if the time gets closer you can also see where's the car parked. In the next step you can locate the car and as you see from the button start here lock it, unlock it and start the engine. This would only work for the time frame the PRS book the car. After that it's expected the car coming back to its own area and then the owner for example can use it again or another way you can use it. As I mentioned now the car is locked and you end your trip. Also it provides a possibility to reimburse the owner to in fact reduce the total cost of ownership. What does that mean in a bigger picture? I meant to ask a question earlier now I already showed this slide what do you think is the percentage of time of a day where you actually use your car according to common studies it's about 4%. If you now look at car sharing it goes about 70%. So in 70% of the time of the day the car is actually used. So this gets really interesting as soon as we have autonomous cars out there because they can get used over and over and coming again to the service fault. So you can set them off to service themselves you can refueling, get washed, get parked I don't want to do this. The general leaves out the floorboards or leaves on the floor they vacuum all that out. Yes, they go shopping as well they do that. And when they empty the dish, they go shopping. Again this is an example of autonomous and shared can be connected. So coming back to what I mentioned in several initiatives one of which is the BioTurk project another one would be the Socrates project ICT for CART and Inframix. All of those cover certain aspects but in general aim to see where can smart cities and smart cars connect. Socrates for example has pilots running in Copenhagen Amsterdam and work in Munich Inframix has test sites in Austria and Spain whereas the BioTurk pilot cities are Helsinki, Lyon and Brussels. Let's have a look at those projects. Socrates for example has those four aids the Joachim on journey means to provide tools to support the individual customer to make its own decisions to support its own decisions. My own mobility habits the question is to balance between what is good for the individual and good for society. Facilitating in that case means putting hardware software and in use and support the customer optimally and reliable. In that case means rewarding the customer for contribution to improve society. It means to create a win-win situation because I guess every one of you would agree that if there isn't a win-win situation or a win situation for the road users for the authorities or for the service providers it's hard to get them bored. So let's have a look at one of the pilots how the people of Socrates try to achieve that. This is the pilot and the antwerp you see the map of antwerp and this is a schematic of the map. Basically antwerp has within the major road work two tunnels which allows you to cross the river the sorry I have to look that up so I don't say anything wrong the northern tunnel is free-based where else a southern tunnel is toll-free. The intention of the road authority is to spread the traffic if there is an accident in the free tunnel. As you can imagine most of the people are trying to use the toll-free tunnel whenever possible so what they are now doing is providing a schema or a traffic management system. So for example if in the toll-free tunnel there is an accident that if there are people who would only go in the right direction would want to release a amount of traffic going for that tunnel we offer them a total reduction or even a toll-free passage of the other tunnel to reduce the amount of traffic going into that area is still in concert this isn't live yet, it's planned to be done in 2019 but they are looking into several different approaches sending information directly to the car looking at information sent to the mobiles as looking on how the amounts would look like to enable the right customers to adjust their journey and on the other hand also keeping in mind how the business model would look like for the road authority so they don't use too much money. The next project is pilot job, this is the one I'm personally involved it has the goals to create an ecosystem for connected smart objects the communication by open standards as well as breaking up vertical silos the approaches are to create a system of systems using everything as a service and validate that through smart city pilots this is the picture of a smart city with inviator we have several use cases for example the smart waste management the safety around schools we also have the smart electric cars if you hear that use cases the first assumption would be they are totally separate you have a vertical silo for each of the use case one for smart electric cars for example and one for smart waste management and another one for smart building the idea of pilot job in general is to not create those vertical silos but go in via open standards open vocabulary to allow communication between those silos oh not silos better to be said to make use of the data for another use case is that process or legal for example the smart electric vehicle would be specific for electric Brussels would be safety around schools but also smart parking Leon would be for example smart waste management so these are three different business ecosystems is there any commonality in the vocabulary in the three or are you re-use and I know there is one big difference but is there any re-use between the three cities or when you go into those cities as a project lead does it look like three vastly different use cases is it okay if I answer that question about five slides later I hope it would be more clear so let's have a look at the smart mobility use case as you might have guessed is the one BMW is taking the most interesting we have five group of concepts one is preconditioning and driver identification is the second one both of them we are looking specifically into context awareness real-time traffic information at the interlink between the use cases which I will mention which I have already mentioned whereas smart parking and charging we are specifically looking into standardization this is a very high level architecture where you have the certain systems that work within biotope so for example you have parking energy which is using an OMI note to distribute its charges or the information about its charges in the IOT you on the other hand have an OMI note with a sensor which is another partner in the biotope consortium which is distributing parking information for example for Leon or for Brussels so what we do from the CAS perspective we query a system which is another I note technically speaking which is called IOTB and B its a service catalog so basically if you are looking for a certain set of information being in parking or charging you just query for that information saying I am looking for parking information for that to your audience and then the system will return you on my notes that have registered parking or charging information for that position what is the query mechanism what is the how is it query? it's basically an OMF message what it's meant by those clouds which you unfortunately can't see for example in parking energy again you have physically speaking charging poles which are connected to a back end which allows booking them reserving them and basically allows the power to flow to stop the power flow this is a proprietary IOT we do not interfere with that company's business of how they connect the charging poles to their to their back end what we do in biotope is keeping the interfaces open so the information about charging poles is available is using mobibop as a for example and is transporting that information via OMF the idea I think some of you heard already the picture of the hour class curry friendly is usually using for that so the idea is that within your domain or within the application you can choose from all the variety of technologies and standards that is there is to be kept very narrow to enable broad interoperability so biotope basically doesn't say you do not need to make everything public to participate but only provide information that might be useful to other customers in an open standard again that slide might answer to your question you had earlier we have the parking data from the several cities which is often in proprietary formats which we use open standards to distribute them and which allows us for example that we display the parking data in the car and on the other hand have the mobile app for android which was developed by Alte University for example to work on the very same set of data that the car is operating the use case of Leon would be the smart waste management what they did you have those bottle banks over here being equipped with those tiny IoT devices those devices basically measure how full the bottle bank is and therefore optimize when the bottle bank is to be entered so the question you might now have is how is that connected to smart mobility or what would it be about the for example be interested in how full a bottle bank is the idea is that when they send out those trucks to enter the bottle bank they know the route in advance they are able to plan a very efficient route in the way into the full bottle banks but you do not want to be stuck behind one of those waste trucks therefore the information again is published in our IOUF for example and therefore can be used to optimize the route and take away most of the traffic from where the bottle bank is emptied and therefore not causing any greater delays the next slide which is about smart home this one does not have to be necessarily open because for example you would not want the information about your smart home so in this case this Finnish company in their event the idea is that they provide all the sensors that are going the homeowner provides the sensors and someone puts it together who provides all the sensor type of building materials that goes in the home in our case it is NMN for example but the idea is that the open standard to be used there can also supplement that with sensors from another company so again we have here a use case that is meant to show how can communication be done efficiently and how can the user benefit from communication crossing the borders between different silos think of a user perspective on the one hand I have a smart home and on the other hand in front of that smart home there is a smart car parked usually I again picturing the scene in Finland for example in winter the smart home does know I will now very soon leave my house couldn't it just tell the smart car to already warm up so when I enter the car I feel comfortable unfortunately in a 2018 scenario before biotub the two devices are cold smart but are too dark to talk to each other this is one of the situations we want to resolve with biotub and we have an example that I will show you in a short video of how the health safety use case in general works I will tell you about smart car there is smart charging in that case and about the smart home we will see you in a moment where there will be a light at the corner the microphone he can save energy by setting his home and out of way home this information can also be shared with his other smart appliances and his car BLW has installed their biotub prototype dashboard in Robert's electric vehicle it can control the car and it has the based on contextual information such as temperature and Robert's distance from the car now the car knows Robert is leaving and is being preconditioned doing this while still plug in saves batteries it is now comfortable where he needs to find charging for his electric vehicle he receives a list of charging spots suitable for his car near his destination he selects a spot provided by park energy and enjoys the ride towards his destination that Robert arrives and needs to charge his car he already selected his charging spot so he only needs to enable charging charging starts Stacy is preparing for a reading she doesn't need charging but does need parking the open parking data from the city of Helsinki allows her to search for available parking this ultra university app uses the city biotub technology as Robert's car it could also guide owners of electric vehicles to parking areas that provide charging about the Helsinki showcase the signal that I am running short of time just a brief introduction in the next European cooperation project which is called Inframix Inframix is meant to prepare the infrastructure for the mix between conventional cars and autonomous cars this is meant to be done by the aggregation of physical and digital road infrastructure it is meant to update the infrastructure it is meant to implement control strategies for autonomous vehicles in a mixed traffic as well as a classification scheme it is also meant to evaluate the users appreciation the users acceptance this might be for example for cultural differences as well as for traffic safety so for example control strategy would be monitoring the current traffic situation and therefore derive ideal speed and distance for autonomous vehicles traffic safety would be for example is to answer question about who intersects errors so for example if the infrastructure tells an autonomous car go to 100 miles per hour on an exit ramp who is actually meant to check if that is a good idea or not therefore we are looking into hybrid road infrastructure meaning for example when you look at the infrastructure today as we have those bridges in English where you have the signs of the motorway can't you can't you use the horizontal structure of the sign I think you get what I want to say in those signs where you have the variable speed limits at the moment you have cameras in the car detecting on what the sign is showing and then interpreting it for the car but in an ideal world which is not that far away hopefully it would be that you have a digital communication from the infrastructure to say the sign which is displayed for the regular drivers is also broadcasted digitally and therefore closing that gap same controls same controls yes for the cameras sometimes we need the signals for the signals they do not buy the camera but the idea would be to have a direct digital connection instead of that image recognition for example for disability reasons that might be better sorry we've got about 5 minutes prior to the break so I have to read up the speaker if you prefer questions or if you want to continue with some more content I'm trying to finish within 2 minutes and then we still have some signs so this is just an introduction about the planned test sites as I mentioned in Spain and in Austria they are meant to use real vehicles and real infrastructure to test it and just to give you a few theories so for example the test site in Spain is a 20 km 4 lane carriageway with intersections with tunnels and with about 30,000 cars per day expected costs to cover 20 km of motorway is about 500,000 euro for the digital infrastructure the certain use cases would be for example to calculate when it's beneficial to start an own lane for autonomous cars for example you can reduce the distance dramatically between the cars if it's only them because they just have a faster reaction if you do not mix them with human drivers but on the other hand if you would use the right-most lane how do you do about the exits and is there a better way than just saying if I have three lanes maybe we'll use if you have 33% of the autonomous vehicles then it is beneficial so the question is like that on the other hand how do you handle roadwork zones because of course if you have a car saying autonomy level 4 it could handle roadwork zone for example or if it couldn't it just could stop before and that's what you want to avoid that you kind of have a car going the maximum hard speed here and then at this situation suddenly doesn't know what to do and therefore stops immediately so it would be beneficial to tell the car say 5 minutes in advance and therefore notify the driver hey in 5 minutes you will have to take over and one other thing is how to handle bottlenecks which you do implicitly if you drive the car you might speed up or you might slowly decrease the speed this is a thing autonomous cars yet have to learn and the question is also important for the car as in classification scheme I mentioned earlier how many or how much support they can expect from the infrastructure so therefore just closing with a quote future mobility will be autonomous connected and vision free and shared and will be geared to meeting the individual needs of each and every single customer thank you very much Florian for giving us all a crash course into autonomous vehicles and the concerns and considerations we've now got a couple minutes left over for questions so I know there's definitely unless you're an expert in this area I imagine you have some questions so please feel free so two things car to car communications and also accident could you just comment on those car to car vehicle to vehicle and you mean car to car communication to communicate an accident for example the intention of the vehicle or the finding of a hole on the pavement or the destruction or the fact that the truck is sliding has there been any work by the end that they can communicate with other manufacturers so that those messages can share both of your autonomous or nearly so certainly but within the projects it's more about the car to car communication and the car to car communication okay what was an accident so there was an accident on the motorway and that was that communication within permits they are still at the very beginning as they are with the autonomous cars unfortunately but the idea basically as I mentioned earlier to give an early warning to the car for example that the rain is close to next year great talk will imprimex use on my podium as well or do you know of it I don't know yet so I'm I'm not personally part of the project but for example what we've done quite successfully is suggesting because that's the only thing we can do it's about all my own and especially Mobybok to the other projects we have used that in Biota but we already suggested that to the ICG4 car which is a national project and as well to SOFRA test which is another European project
