MadeInGermany

This article covers the autonomous vehicle. For further meanings see Made in Germany (definition of terms ) .

MadeInGermany is an autonomous car from the Free University of Berlin and AutoNOMOS Labs, which has been developed since 2011. It is the successor to Spirit of Berlin . The vehicle is based on a Volkswagen Passat Variant 3C with drive-by-wire control. This enables a computer to control the car fully autonomously in city traffic. Obstacles are detected with various laser and radar systems, light signal systems and lane markings by cameras. The sensors are aligned so that 360-degree monitoring can take place around the vehicle.

MadeInGermany is mainly on the move in Berlin and has so far covered more than 3000 kilometers in Berlin city traffic and on motorways without human intervention. In September 2011, an autonomous demonstration drive from the International Congress Center to the Brandenburg Gate was presented to the press and media. The main goal of the vehicle is to be able to navigate completely in an urban environment, taking into account the applicable traffic regulations.

In addition to fully autonomous driving, the vehicle can also be controlled with other input devices. A semi-automated mode with eye or brain control ( brain-computer interface ) can be enabled. This also allows disabled people access to normal city traffic. Smartphone control via iPhone and iPad was also developed.
