Researchers & developers discuss the future of automated and connected driving in Braunschweig
On March 14 and 15, 2018, representatives from research and the automotive industry had the opportunity to learn about the current status on the topic of „autonomous driving“ at AAET in Braunschweig.

The transportation of goods and people is key to the economy. The scope and functions of increasingly automated vehicle assistance are growing.
Improving the comfort, safety and energy efficiency of modern road vehicles is therefore driving innovations for assistance systems and automation for higher automated driving. Advanced assistance is enabling new inner-city mobility solutions based on smart vehicles and cooperative transport solutions. Further global challenges arise from CO2, emissions and fuel consumption reductions. The greater electrification of means of transport opens up further approaches and contributions to improving their environmental compatibility, also in inner cities. With increasing automation and networking, the security of data, systems and networking, the correct reaction of the vehicle, as well as legal framework conditions and insurance aspects are coming more into focus.
The necessary sensor technology for recording the driver’s own driving condition, the traffic environment and the driver’s performance, the intelligent fusion and evaluation of the information and its linkage with external information form the basis of increasingly powerful assistance systems. Mobile communication and cooperation between means of transport are also creating new qualities for traffic guidance and services.
As a result, the system capability of vehicles and infrastructure is increasingly coming into focus. All properties are optimized by efficient development, whose methods and tools are crucial to mastering increasingly complex scenarios and complying with legal and normative framework conditions.
