EDAG makes the brake fit for the eCar

The electrification of the powertrain also has an effect on the brake system – many previously valid concepts and experiences are losing their validity. In order to meet the resulting requirements, not only innovative solutions, but also new methods and tools need to be developed, for simulation and testing processes for instance. EDAG has now...

An AI based raindrop detection system for Autonomous Driving

On one hand automotive industry’s largest researched field, Autonomous Driving is leading to revolutionary shift by teaching the cars how to drive on its own in both controlled and uncontrolled environments. On the other hand, it is almost impossible to develop cars that can surpass human driving without a powerful and a reliable sensor system,...

From trucks to combine harvesters: how EDAG is advancing the automation of commercial vehicles

They weigh several tonnes. Skillfully steering them across the fields requires years of experience: without combine harvesters, agriculture would not exist in its current form. But can even huge vehicles like these be operated without a driver? Autonomous driving on public roads is still prohibited by law - but technologically possible. Adapting...

Lights on the way to intelligent communication

Car lights – long underestimated – are developing into key players for the future of automobility. What might initially sound a bit far-fetched becomes clear as soon as it comes to communication between pedestrians and autonomous vehicles: "Has the self-driving car noticed me, and can I cross the road?" – this is the point at which lights become...

Energy Management 4.0 - How the e-car generates its own electricity for free

In the past, energy management in vehicles was mostly about dealing with electricity consumers as efficiently as possible. Today's electric cars are radically changing that. AI enables them to find out for themselves when the driver(s) will need how much power in the battery and, at the other times, to earn money independently as participants in...

How much CO2 does your car radio emit?

We're travelling along the motorway to the accompaniment of our favourite song. The voice assistant warns of traffic congestion ahead – and then the telephone rings, and we use the hands-free system to take the call. Everyday scenes that make one thing clear: in-car audio systems are becoming increasingly important. Radio, telephone and media...

Safely through the fog: how SmoFod makes driver assistance systems more reliable

Vehicles that navigate their way through everyday traffic on their own, while the driver works on a laptop or relaxes in the back seat: These images are still dreams of the future. Even if no fully autonomous vehicle has yet been approved for use on the roads, car manufacturers are increasingly installing driver assistance systems as standard....

Qualitative prototyping in aerospace engineering also accelerates software developement

In 1927, Charles Lindbergh flew his plane "Spirit of St. Louis" the 5,800 kilometres from New York to Paris in 33 long and lonely hours. Not quite 50 years later, Concorde covered the same distance in an incredible three supersonic hours. Flying is something we take for granted today, and we seldom take the time to appreciate the extremely complex...
