The kick-off meeting was a success. The project partners met, introduced themselves to each other and exchanged information about the project. The aim of the meeting was to create a common understanding of the project goal and the distribution of tasks.
The methods and tools for the project were defined at the first milestone. This is an important step in project planning, as it creates the basis for the successful implementation of the project.
The simulation hardware was successfully set up and the simulation environment developed. This was a crucial step in the implementation of the project, as it enabled us to carry out our simulations and gain important insights.
The Wiesn Shuttle was presented for the first time at the DAV Action Day for Sustainable Mobility on 16.06.24 in Oberammergau and test rides were undertaken.
The demo drive of our autonomous shuttle took place in the company of celebrities (see blog post). Afterwards, on 25 and 26.09.24, interested parties were able to see the potential of our technology for themselves and be chauffeured through the Oktoberfest traffic.
With the Wiesn Shuttle project, we proved that autonomous driving is already possible in complex, urban environments. Our aim was to bring the technology to life in real traffic situations and demonstrate its suitability for everyday use.
We have developed special software for autonomous driving and integrated it into our EDGAR research vehicle. With EDGAR, we have made it possible for citizens to experience innovative technology at first hand.
Our project shows that autonomous vehicles have the potential to make urban traffic safer, more efficient and fairer. We wanted to demonstrate how this technology can have a positive impact on everyday life in the city.
The results of our project were presented at the Oktoberfest 2024. Visitors had the unique opportunity to experience a ride on the autonomous shuttle and see the technology's capabilities for themselves in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the Oktoberfest.
The Wiesn 2024 was not just a folk festival, but also the setting for a groundbreaking innovation: our MCube Wiesn Shuttle was successfully launched and showed what the future of urban mobility could look like. Autonomous, sustainable and efficient - these are the cornerstones of a new age of mobility that we demonstrated with our team at the Oktoberfest.
