Future Mobility ��predict�� the most effi cient source of power. ��rivers will also want to ��e more connected in the future�� cars must satisfy this desire ��y offering a wide range of infotainment and communication possi��ilities. To ena��le a driver, for e��ample, to use a touch screen while driving, initially only in certain traffi c situations, autonomous and partially autonomous driving will ��ecome evermore important. AVL��s cutting-edge test environment, which ena��les interaction ��etween virtual development and the test��ed, helps developers understand and work with constantly increasing comple��ity, from the component level right through to the complete vehicle. ELECTRIFICATION AND HYBRIDIZATION With increasingly strict CO2 restrictions across the world and demand for afforda��le vehicles with low fuel consumption and no sacrifi ce of comfort, the automotive industry is facing enormous challenges. The electrifi cation and hy��ridization of powertrains, along with further optimization of com��ustion engines, are forward-looking steps to satisfy this demand. It is already possi��le to travel short distances 100 �� electrically and locally emission-free at reasona��le cost using plug-in hy��rid vehicles. Even ��igger advances in the development of ��attery life and fuel cells will ��e needed to put more electrically powered vehicles on the road. Infrastructure upgrades, like ��uick charging stations and intelligent traffi c management systems, will also contri��ute to effi ciency improvements in the use of future vehicles. CROSS-LINKING, INFOTAINMENT AND AUTONOMOUS DRIVING Cross-linking a vehicle with its surroundings and other vehicles ��Car2��-Communication�� may contri��ute to ��etter operating strategies in the future, for e��ample ��y allowing a hy��rid electric powertrain to / 8
