Autonomous driving leads to a change in mobility as we know it today. New possibilities of use cases and technological innovations are changing the vehicle concept. Besides improving safety and traffic flow, automation also leads to greater design freedom and higher energy requirements. Furthermore, the customer and user will often no longer be identical. This leads to changed properties that are needed as input for concept development. In this paper, we are performing an initial analysis of the ratio of increasing auxiliary energy consumers in comparison to total energy consumption in order to point out possible changes in the autonomous vehicle concept and package. In addition, we investigate the influence of different driving cycles on the distribution of energy demand to demonstrate that the application of an autonomous vehicle has a significant influence on the concept design. Last, we present our methodology for the analysis of adaptations and potentials in the vehicle concept of autonomous vehicles.
