Abstract
Highly automated driving is a further decisive step towards accident-free driving based on intelligent interaction of driving assistant systems, which in turn will result in increased road safety. In addition, this concept will reduce the stress to which drivers are subject and increase their comfort level in monotonous traffic situations (e.g. long stretches of highway driving or stop-and-go situations), provide greater efficiency and economy and contribute to ecological sustainability. The Future Truck 2025 has now demonstrated for the first time how much freedom for new tasks can be created in the logistics field, even while the vehicle is in motion, to improve the working environment of truck drivers. This shift of emphasis from being “just” a driver to being a transport manager offers enormous potential, but is accompanied by a new kind of driver/vehicle interaction.
