This non-fictional, yet storytelling, book questions the role of cars and their impact, both for now and in the future. It is not enough to just consider autonomous driving, driving bans in Europe, and combustion engines. Our future and the future of our cities and country living depend on how we can coordinate different needs and different means. Finally, we ask ourselves: What is the status of the car today and in the future? Are we living and working in vehicles more than ever? And who benefits from autonomous driving and what are we giving up for it? In this book, the editor's work illustrates and critically assesses the role of cars. It showcases project examples and introduces easy to use checklists. The authors show how the car influences our business and private lives, and how the car stimulates our appetite for adventures, recreation, and survival. Emerging throughout more than a century, purposefully deployed, and innovativelyused, the automobile grew into our mobility DNA beyond horsepower and equipment. The car has been evolving into an adventure space, a survival and a growth space. The editor and authoring team present innovative services, digital use cases and smart data that are worth considering. The concept of Smart Mobility offers the possibility to retrieve the appropriate means of transport for individual and freight traffic in a forward-looking, digital, and intermodal way. Smart Mobility in practice: Good car, bad car, no car by DoktorB Barbara Fluegge and team is aimed at decision-makers and entrepreneurs, as well as project managers and their teams, in the context of smart city and digitail transformation projects. Numerous checklists and a comprehensive glossary make the book an important tool for practical use in pre- and post-preparation of projects and lectures in the field of Smart Mobility, Smart City, Smart Regions.
