On the following pages we will demonstrate, how assisted and automated driving are quickly becoming our reality. Now is the time to find the right partner with the necessary technical expertise and maximum flexibility for such a complex topic. Development partner for automated driving 4 5 What characterizes a good partner on the road to the mobile future? Today, mobility is already on the verge of highly automated driving. The complex requirements that this entails require special expertise and individual flexibility for each customer. Thanks to the large number of innovative functions, the complexity of automated vehicles, machines and systems is significantly increased. For this reason alone, choosing the right development partner is crucial for the success of such a challenging technology project as automated driving.

Changing mobility 6 7 8 What does mobility of the What does the road to autonomous driving look like? future look like? The globalized world is facing a historic transformation. This applies above all The requirements for the vehicle are changing fundamentally on the road Data capture using sensor technology to take on exchange of data will significantly increase the availability to mobility. What lies before us is the beginning of a new, multi-mobile age. from assisted to autonomous driving. At level 1, the responsibility is still important measurement and control tasks and quality of information for road users. Today’s usage patterns and ownership as well as business models will change fully incumbent on the driver, who is supported only by advanced driver It is the intelligent interaction of control systems, sensor Our technical platform eHorizon uses swarm intelligence fundamentally. This applies to our work and leisure behavior alike – whether assistance systems. By jumping from level 2 to level 3, the responsibility technology and actuators that turns vehicles into “smart for the virtual expansion of the driver’s field of vision by devices”.

For data transmission, we are not only relying on 4G or 5G network access, but also on dedicated short-range Fast and stable data transmission communication (DSRC) as well as cellular-V2X technology for direct vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. As soon as a system takes over driving tasks, full connectivity and a visualization of the decisions made by the automated system that everybody can understand is required.
