The 4 D‘s of Future Automotive Mobility
Dr. Klaus Schaaf, Volkswagen AG
Maybe we can fill the part about shaping the digital transformation with some content…
• Digitalization • Design Thinking • Disruptive Technologies • Driverless Cars
This is where we have to excell in the future to stay at the top…
Wait a minute – don‘t we already know one thing or two about this?
• Digitalization • Design Thinking • Disruptive Technologies • Driverless Cars
Early digital Projects
Active Noise Compensation (1992) Digital Voice Enhancement (2000)
Electronics Research Lab in
Silicon Valley (since 2001)
Stanley wins the Darpa Grand Challenge (2005)
True - but now let‘s go completely crazy… Let‘s integrate these concepts not only into our cars but also into ecosystems!
• Digitalization • Design Thinking • Disruptive Technologies • Driverless Cars

AI Customer Assistants enable a two-way engagement with customers in an experience
that will mimic human conversations, with both
listening and speaking, a sense of history, in-the-moment
context, tone, and the ability to respond.
