Ingolstadt Audi takes the previously independent Artemis project team for the development of an autonomous electric car under its wing. The team had set up the development of the Artemis model outside of learned structures and processes and, together with Audi and the VW software company Cariad, laid the foundation for future-proof technologies, Audi announced on Friday. But now it has handed over responsibility for further vehicle development to Audi and for software development to Cariad.
CEO Markus Duesmann said that without the previous team leader, Alexander Hitzinger, “the vehicle would not be rolling to our customers in 2025”. Hitzinger is now handing over the line. From now on, Artemis GmbH will work “more closely and more directly with the technical development department at Audi”, said Chief Development Officer Oliver Hoffmann. It is to become Audi’s competence center for fast and modern development processes.
With the Artemis project, Audi originally wanted to bring a fully networked electric Audi with new software onto the market at the end of 2024 and make the brand, which was shaken by the diesel crisis and changes in the management board, the technology leader in the VW Group again.
