Legally compliant digitalisation for vehicles, fleets and mobility services – from AI design to compliance along the entire value chain.
Key contacts
Digitalisation and artificial intelligence (AI) are driving innovation, changing business models and production processes and finding their way into the entire value chain. Automated driving, data-based services and AI-supported vehicle steering are constantly evolving and pose a wide variety of challenges. As connectivity increases, so do the requirements for data protection, cybersecurity, product compliance and regulatory control. We will accompany you on the path to achieving digital mobility: from innovation to technical implementation and onward to legal safeguards.
