Work Environment

The field of “Autonomous Driving” (AD), with applications such as “Mobility as a Service” (MaaS) and “Transport as a Service” (TaaS), will play a central role in the transformation of mobility. This requires optimized vehicles and new approaches for their provision and operation – opening up a new business model for Volkswagen AG. This model is intended to serve as a platform for various AD systems and providers, enabling the autonomous transport of passengers and goods in urban areas worldwide. We need you for this! If you are excited about developing Volkswagen’s first autonomous vehicle and taking responsibility within a team for driving sustainable mobility change, we look forward to your application. Writing a master’s thesis is possible.
