Germany aims to become a lead market for automated and autonomous driving. Achieving this requires the right balance between technology development, regulation, and market ramp-up. 

This session focuses on how harmonized legal frameworks, streamlined approval processes, and clear liability and data protection rules can accelerate innovation. 

Where do we stand today? What experience has already been gained – and which regulatory levers still need adjustment? Together, we discuss how new value networks and self-driving ecosystems are emerging, what opportunities arise for industry and research, and which international developments can serve as points of reference.
