City2Share: e-and autonomous vehicles in Munich logistics hubs

Without a special pump in Munich, a pilot project is launched with many participants on “interception” car sharing in the busiest logistic points with (potentially) autonomous electric vehicles and tracking of free parking spaces / admission of only authorized participants to these places - and sending relevant information “in real time” on apps on smartphones and in participating sharing cars.

Plus - the distribution of electric bikes at these points.

Plus, the distribution points of UPS service packages at these locations.

The participants and partners of the project are very serious there:

• Several departments of the city hall of Munich
• BMW concern itself
• His car-sharing "daughter" DriveNow
• Siemens Mobility
• Munich City Carrier MVG
• German Institute of Urban Studies
• Technical University of Dresden
• University of Munich Bundeswehr
• UPS courier service

and some others with the active support of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Environment and Nuclear Safety.

In the technical circle, of course, there is a diverse palette of opinions about the objectives and necessity of the project. But, as you can see, including from a recent article on the Platooning system , the Bavarian government is purposefully experimenting with new forms of logistic solutions, various research in the field of urban planning and testing of new transport technologies.
