From Racing to Accelerating towards Autonomous Mobility

I had the privilege of interviewing Markus Lienkamp from Technical University of Munich about the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League, 27th of April 2024, and its contributions and learnings for the future of autonomous mobility.

His captivating account highlighted the challenges, teamwork, and success of this well-executed event by ASPIRE, fostering fair and exciting competition.

Beyond the thrill of the race, Markus shared invaluable insights for the automotive industry’s autonomous mobility journey:

👉 Embracing open-source code collaboration on the technical front
👉 Enhanced cross-industry cooperation over the whole value chain
👉 Higher public and private financial commitment

Markus compellingly advocated for open innovation and partnerships to accelerate progress in this transformative field. His plea resonates: to realize safe and efficient Level 4 and 5 autonomous mobility, we must unite our efforts.

👍 Join me in thanking Markus for these thought-provoking perspectives that will undoubtedly propel us towards our shared vision of autonomous mobility on public roads making mobility more sustainable (electric and service oriented) and inclusive (transport opportunities for elderly, handicapped and children).
