The future could bring a kind of “mobility pass” that would allow everybody to access public transport, taxis or rental cars. “Only with such a system will new technologies show all their advantages,” he argued. German car manufacturers had to embrace the change more quickly and the government should give them the incentive to do so by including specific transport sector targets in the programme after the 2017 elections, Hochfeld told Hanna Gersmann.
