The DigiTalk organized by the Digitale Stadt München e. V. association at the Collaboration Campus in Holzkirchen was all about the future of mobility. Under the guiding theme of “Intelligent software as the key to the mobility of the future”, experts and interested parties came together to discuss the latest developments, challenges and prospects in this area.

With the increasing networking of vehicles, machines and factories, IT security is also becoming more relevant. AI increases complexity for both attackers and defenders. Companies must continuously protect themselves against cyberattacks and make their systems resistant to attacks. Experts from Bosch Engineering and ITK Engineering discussed this with PD Dr. Corinna Schmitt from the CODE / NCC-DE research institute and Prof. Dr. Reiner Hüttl from the Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences. They also discussed the role of intelligent software and looked at specific examples.

A key conclusion of the event: intelligent software is becoming increasingly important and is becoming a decisive differentiator, particularly in terms of efficiency, performance and safety. One example of the use of intelligent software is the automated driving of trucks in logistics yards. Sensor technology on the vehicle and at the loading gates as well as the 5G mobile communications standard are essential components for optimally implementing the cooperation between humans and automated vehicles. The steering of a vehicle is a complex mechatronic construct whose function is increasingly shaped by software. Autonomous driving functions and x-by-wire technologies require advanced automation solutions based on simulation and artificial intelligence. In future, AI will not only make vehicles, but also products, processes and entire systems more efficient, more sustainable and safer. Those who have large amounts of data and analyze it with the help of AI can gain decisive competitive advantages.

At the end of the event evening, the participants were able to take many new ideas and insights home with them. We are now looking forward to future developments in intelligent mobility.
