Practical insights, expert presentations and hands-on technology
At dSPACE, a leading provider of simulation and validation solutions for the automotive industry, the students were able to see first-hand how the company supports car manufacturers in simulation and validation. The programme included presentations on "Simulating Autonomous Vehicles" and "Tools for Developing and Testing AI for Automated Driving". Maria Thümmler and Melanie Even from dSPACE led the students through various stations and also presented a sensor-based test vehicle to the students.
"We listened to interesting presentations from the company's experts and were given an insight into the practical side of things - we were even allowed to take a look inside the sensor vehicle. It was a great experience for all of us to visit dSPACE, a major supplier to the automotive industry. Many thanks to dSPACE, especially to Maria Thümmler and Melanie Even, for organising this great excursion." said Prof. Dr. Ulrich Büker.
Excitement and enthusiasm from the students
The field trip was very well received by the students and deepened their understanding of the complexities and challenges involved in developing autonomous vehicles. Many were inspired by the opportunities presented by these advanced technologies and the company. The field trip was an excellent opportunity for the students to learn how leading companies are tackling challenges and creating innovative solutions.
