ZF GTD 2019 Flying Carpet 2 0

When we want to drive autonomously, we have to change the requirements. The main requirement is right now comfort optimization that we can use the vehicle as a mobile office. In our vehicle we have our complete product portfolio for chassis systems. On the front system we have our intelligent steering systems, the By-wire system We have an intelligent brake system and on the wheel axle system we have our active kinematic control and on the vertical direction we have our sMOTION system. With these different technologies we can identify new functions for the customer and as I mentioned before if I want to use the vehicle as an autonomous vehicle, I have to reduce the acceleration on the vertical direction. If I break for example, I can control the movement of the body in the opposite direction. With our active system I can reduce the obstacles of the streets so that I really have a flying carpet of the vehicle.

Important for our system is that we really combine our active intelligent mechatronics systems For this sytem we developed a new architecture that allows us to combine this sytem. We call this cubiX. CubiX allows us to steer on a higher level the intelligent mechatronics systems. With this cubic technology we have also the interface for autonomous driving vehicles We need a trajectory coming from our sensor set, camera, lidar and radar. With this information we get a trajectory. And this trajectory we use in order to control our mechatronics systems..
