Through Autonomous Driving, we could deal much better with the resources.”
The Digitalrat of the Federal government, made up of ten experts was set up in August 2018. He is to advise the government in a practical way and driving. It is a question of projects as a strategy for Artificial intelligence (AI), the digital Pact school, the introduction of a citizen portal, and the digitization of the administration.
