Latest results of the German Real Estate Index (GREIX), a project of ECONtribute and IfW Kiel The downward trend for real estate prices in Germany was partially halted in the second quarter of 2023.

In order to travel from A to B in Berlin, you don't need a local taxi driver. Your cab could just as well be driven from Brazil - provided that the data packets are delivered reliably and, above all, quickly. A taxi driver navigating his cab through the city. A surgeon performing a procedure at the operating table.

Reading time 1 min. Lower weight and significantly reduced aerodynamic drag The latest competition car from student group TUfast Eco makes its debut.

Software makes more ethically differentiated decisions Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed autonomous driving software which distributes risk on the street in a fair manner. The algorithm contained in the software is considered to be the first to incorporate the 20 ethics recommendations of the EU Commission expert group, thus making significantly more differentiated decisions than previous algorithms.

Racing victory as the basis for the science of the future Autonomous driving is the focal point of mobility research Autonomous driving has a special significance for the mobility of the future.
