BMW i: Visionary Mobility

In the spring of 2008, a think tank of engineers, designers, trend researchers, and financial experts met on a factory floor of BMW’s parent plant in Munich to rethink mobility. This volume traces the exciting venture in its complex development, while also looking at the future. A main focus is on the major challenges of our time — climate change, scarcity of resources, megacities — and the solution approaches: technological innovations, networked mobility, sustainability in production and the use of renewable materials. Autonomous driving plays a particularly important role. Terrific close-ups and design drawings present all models from the BMW i3 and the BMW i8 to the BMW i Vision Future Interaction.
