The year 2018 is not quite over yet, but there is already the mobility study from Continental and the results are partly surprising. Often we could also foresee these.
It is important to understand that Conti has been conducting mobility studies on various topics for seven years now. 2018 interviewed the market and social research institute infas logistics experts, freight forwarders, fleet operators and long-distance drivers as well as private motorists on the trends in future mobility. What are the propulsion systems of the future? What about automated driving? What opportunities does private motorists see in the topic of digitization and networking? How important are car sharing and co? On the 12. In December, the study will be released as part of a webcast, but we already have some insights:
Mobility study 2018 - the first results
Two-thirds of the participants stated that while they enjoy driving, they are stressed out in traffic jams. We think everyone knows that, right? Who has fun in traffic? Since you like to give the vehicle but the control, or not?
As expected, especially those who live in the surrounding area of large cities complain about the congestion. But no matter whether city or country, whether village or beach: more than two-thirds consider themselves good to very good motorists. Even the self-assessment should know most of you.
However, the mobility study 2018 not only has evaluations from Germany, but also looks at other countries. While here in Germany the stress level has remained rather constant over the last five years, things look quite different in Japan, for example. Initially, just half of those who had complained of stress in traffic jams were now 64 percent of the surveyed participants in the study. Incidentally, in the US, it is 53 percent. In China you can either see traffic jam calmly or simply do not know it differently. Only 40 percent of Chinese said they were stressed in traffic jams.
However, what we did not expect: The determined congestion-stress factor is Germany, Japan, China and in the US in the Bei- and passengers nearly as high as those behind the wheel sit. In China, passengers and passengers have even more stress with 47 percent than the driver himself.
Stress is dangerous, we need to reduce stress and it should be completely rid of it. In addition to intelligent mobility solutions and intelligent route guidance, automatic or semi-automated driving functions are particularly recommended for traffic jams. Drive yourself, or let go, the driver has the choice and if he does not feel like it, then he can just let the car handle the traffic jam.
But who has more fun in the car? The driver or the passengers?
Drivers still enjoy driving, and the 2018 mobility study from Continental has shown that 64 percent of drivers in Germany still enjoy driving. The Chinese are even 69 percent, they have trumped the Americans by 7 percent. The Japanese are frustrated, only 43 percent of motorists still feel driving pleasure.
The co-drivers are especially fun-free - only nine percent of co-drivers and passengers in Japan experience something like driving fun. They should definitely take a lap through our beautiful Germany, right?
What do you all mean? Who is the opinion of being the best motorist in the world?
The Americans lead the rankings here with 83 percent. 83 percent of US participants are convinced that they are a good to very good driver. In China it is 69 percent and in Germany 66 percent. Here, the Japanese practice restraint, just 25 percent to be a good driver. False Modesty or Cliché Fulfillment? Maybe they should not raid our country roads.
... and what about driving bans?
55 percent of the Chinese firmly believe in driving bans in large cities, in Germany 40 percent are convinced that driving bans come to deal with traffic and environmental problems. In the United States, it is - no wonder - only 20 percent and in Japan only XNUMX percent, one could almost believe that the protagonists did not want to study, right?
