“We’re involved in a publicly funded project
that aims to enable quantum-accelerated
applications of artificial intelligence in the
mobility of tomorrow, e.g., for automated
driving. In addition, we are researching
quantum sensors.”
Volkmar Denner, CEO of Robert Bosch GmbH
Quantum @ autonomous vehicles
„This area offers great opportunities and
optimization potential, e.g., in global
logistics or in the utilization of production
lines as well as in quantum machine
learning, e.g., for the future of automated
driving.”
Oliver Zipse, Chairman of Board, BMW AG
