The Future is Now: Innovating Mobility from the Road to the Cloud
"CES 2024 is a great opportunity for Continental to demonstrate how we are innovating mobility from the road to the cloud and from virtual to real with safe, exciting, and autonomous technologies. In the new era of mobility, particularly software-defined vehicles play an integral role. This is why at CES 2024, alongside many advancing technologies, we specifically highlight our road to cloud ecosystem shown in our Software-defined vehicle concept car with the industry’s first integrated cross-domain HPC and the first operationally ready truck together with Aurora for driverless freight operation in the US starting 2027. We are proud to be recognized two times this year as a CES Innovation Award Honoree."
Philipp von Hirschheydt, Executive Board member and Chairman of the Automotive Board

Farms Are Becoming Smart: with Bits and Bytes as Today’s Seeds
According to estimates by the United Nations, there will be around 8.5 billion people living on the Earth by the year 2030 – around half a billion more than in 2023. But food is already scarce in many places today. And there are further challenges to consider in addition to this.
In many industrialized countries such, stricter sustainability regulations have meant that the area of land used for agriculture has been shrinking for years, and fewer pesticides and fertilizers can be used. Lower margins for agricultural products, the shortage of skilled workers and the resulting surge in cost pressure present further challenges. In addition, climate change is causing more severe extreme weather events such as droughts and heavy rainfall, which make cultivation more difficult. Many soils are compacted, over-fertilized and leached. The answer to the agricultural challenges lies in one word: digitalization. Continental is one of the driving forces behind the progress taking place on farms.
