Autonomous mobility follows Christoph Holz from the road all the way into the air: in 2014 he saw the welding robots at Tesla in Fremont, in 2026 the production of the G-Class at Magna Steyr. In Silicon Valley he found the autonomous Nuro delivery van parked at the curb and experienced the shock of his first autonomous cab ride in San Francisco; at ARX Robotics in Munich, the autonomous ground systems for Europe's security. On stage he answers the question of why the car is becoming an app — and the driver is moving to the home office.
