Carmakers鈥� hesitation to push electric mobility is simply an act of self-preservation, writes Grischa Brower-Rabinowitsch in Handelsblatt. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 because the e-car is the first step into a new mobility world, where the automobile will reach a new technical dimension, but lose its significance at the same time [鈥�] with the e-car and the next phase, the self-driving vehicle, the demand for cars will decrease significantly.鈥� To sell conventional cars, carmakers appeal to emotions and driving experience, and present the car as a status symbol, but all these factors might become irrelevant in the future, writes Brower-Rabinowitsch. 鈥淓ven within the industry, there are many managers who expect we will need fewer carmakers in the longer term than we have today.鈥� To secure their own survival, carmakers will have to become mobility service providers, and be ready to make their conventional business models superfluous, writes Brower-Rabinowitsch.
