The stand they built at the IAA will also be repurposed, emphasising their commitment to reducing CO2 across the entire life cycle of a project. This park illustrates how sustainability can be integrated into every aspect of the charging experience. Their upcoming 'NextLevel' charging park, set to open in Chemnitz in 2024, is a case in point. They are aiming not only for an impressive 30,000 fast-charging points in Germany by 2030 but also to make the charging process even more CO2-efficient. Yesterday at IAA, my time with EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG truly opened my eyes to the future of e-mobility. #IAA #EnBW #NextLevelLadepark #Sustainability #ElectricMobility IAA MOBILITY Given all these strides in e-mobility, and with charging stations becoming more accessible, I'm curious-do you still experience 'range anxiety'? Let's chat in the comments! 🌱 Priority on Green Spaces: Amidst the urban landscape, the park makes room for nature, balancing technology with biodiversity.īest of all? The entire IAA stand is designed for recycling, marking a new era in how we think about temporary installations and their long-term impact. The park incorporates recycled cobblestones, taking us a step closer to a circular economy. 🔄 Recycled Cobblestones: Sustainability is also about reusability. The solar panels harness clean energy right at the source. ☀️ Solar Panels on the Roof: Every inch of this park is designed to contribute to a greener planet. 🌳 Wooden Construction: The park opts for sustainable wooden roofing and construction, reducing carbon footprint. Here are some of its super cool sustainable features: If you're at IAA this week, be sure to go check out EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG's stand! Their innovative NextLevel Charging Park isn't just a charging park it's a blueprint for a more sustainable, efficient, and eco-friendly future. I think for autonomous cars to be fully adopted everybody needs one and they all need to be connected to each other so they know everything ahead and not just want it can see. I know this is an extreme scenario and the autonomous car shouldnt be that close, but we all think we leave enough room and still there are lots of accidents every day - the road could be a little bit more slippery that it/we thought. But there is another lane/pavement it could swerve into and avoid the collision and save its passengers, but you dont know what is there, another car or people - what does the car do?

Or pedestrians above passengers? The scenario (albeit extreme) in my head is their is an accident in front of the Autonomous car, the car cannot stop in time and hitting the back of the vehicle in front will certainly kill the passengers. My biggest question is about the preservation of life, does the car value its passengers above everyone. I think autonomous driving vehicles are another incredible example of what we can achieve when we put our minds to it. From all human factors perspectives which are well known to ergonomicists and the airline industry, automotive automation is dangerous, not an aid to safety.

#MERCEDES BEATS TESLA HANDS DRIVING DRIVER#
Cognitively, humans are not good at sitting in a seat just passively observing the functioning of a complex machine - we need physical interaction, visual, kineasthetic, auditory to remain involved, alert and in control - there is no time to assess the situation and make decisions in an emergency when the automation can't handle it or malfunctions and the driver has been asleep, playing games or sitting in the back. Never mind the far more varied and impossible to predict environment of roads. Look at the problems with the Boeing 737 Max.

Highly trained commercial pilots subject to regular checks by a training captain have difficulty handling the automation in aircraft that fly within narrow parameters on tightly defined airways and routings - when the automation malfunctions or drops out and hands back "control" (without necessarily telling them) - and in the meantime they've gone to sleep due to boredom - the consequences have often been fatal. My view on "autonomous driving" is that it is a very bad idea.
