‘Pimp my Twizy’ – Increasing the performance and
range of an electric vehicle through optimized thermal
management
The Institute of Automotive Technology demonstrates Europe’s first
tele-operated driving with 5G.
competitions of the U.S. Department of Defense (DARPA
Challenges), it can be stated that today autonomous
driving is only possible in certain less complex scenarios.
Especially in the field of urban traffic with many different
road users and confusing road topology autonomous cars
will not be able to perform like a human in the next couple
of years.
Therefore, a viable approach is to bring back a human
driver into the control loop in order to deal with the com-
plexity of the situation. A wireless data transmission (5G at
the demo) connects the human driver with the vehicle. A
server handles communication and can perform compu-
tationally intensive tasks or provide additional information
from the internet. Further, a Car2Server communication
is being developed simultaneously, which apart from the
tele-operation, is able to provide information to the driver,
like road situations lying ahead.
