On the Move - Smart Mobility and Logistics
The vision of autonomous driving will soon become a reality. It is one of many exciting developments that will fundamentally change the interaction of human beings and their automobiles. For a glimpse of what these changes might be like, take a look at Budii, the new concept car from the Swiss ideas factory Rinspeed, which will have its official launch at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. EY is one of the proud sponsors of Budii and offers Code_n visitors an exclusive opportunity to ‘meet’ this revolutionary vehicle and experience the mobility of the future. Join the debate in our panel discussion with Rinspeed’s Frank Rinderknecht and find out more about Budii by joining one of our many guided tours throughout the week.
