Sometime in the future, autonomous driving should become possible throughout Germany. This is included in a strategic document from the German government.
By 2028, Germany should have the largest contiguous area for self-driving vehicles in the world. In San Francisco and Beijing, autonomous vehicles are already on the road today. In terms of the legal framework, Germany is considered a global pioneer in self-driving cars, with laws already passed in 2017, 2021 and 2022.
But although there are already thousands of self-driving taxis on the road in American cities, such as San Francisco and Phoenix, and in China, it was limited to a few pilot projects in Germany.
German Transport Minister Volker Wissing said on Wednesday that autonomous driving should be possible everywhere in the country in the future. "We are working on that and we are focusing primarily on local public transport and freight transport."
By encouraging autonomous driving, Germany also wants to give a new impetus to its car manufacturers. "We want the German automotive industry to build on its previous successes and maintain its global market leadership through innovation," it says.
