Autonomous Mobility

The Autonomous Mobility team is pioneering the future of transportation with a focus on Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) Air Vehicles - often referred to as flying cars, Energy-Efficient Autonomous Vehicle Systems, and Energy Management and Storage.

By developing eVTOL technologies, they aim to revolutionize urban and regional transportation, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional ground traffic that reduces congestion and emissions. Their work on energy-efficient autonomous vehicle systems is geared towards optimizing the performance and operational efficiency of unmanned vehicles, ensuring they are both environmentally friendly and practical for everyday use. Additionally, the team emphasizes advanced energy management and storage solutions, essential for supporting the high demands of autonomous and electric vehicle fleets and ensuring reliability and sustainability in the transportation ecosystem. Together, these areas of focus promise to redefine mobility, making it cleaner, smarter, and more adaptable to the needs of future societies.
