The Mobility Space office in Berlin has opened to present new mobility concepts. Autonomous driving is currently being offered.
In the Mobility Space office you will be given advice on tomorrow’s mobility. Topics are, for example, electromobility, traveling and children’s road safety. You can also rent a cargo bike here. This week, autonomous driving is the topic and two people from TU Berlin talk about their projects.
Mobility Space in Berlin
On a small circular route, two autonomous vehicles can be marveled at, which are equipped with lidar and stereo cameras to recognize their surroundings, such as the stop sign. The speed of the vehicles was limited to five kilometers per hour, otherwise they could reach a top speed of 70 km / h. The high edge and the window pane still unsettle the vehicles, which is why they don’t drive by themselves. But you can see how the sensors work and how the AI perceives and labels the objects. There is also an information bot to be examined, which answers written questions, for example about autonomous driving. One of the developers also provides information about this.

This information technology is to be integrated later in the line bus, which will then run on a section of the Test track – between Adenauerplatz and Bundestag – is used. From April 2022, the twelve-meter-long bus will run on the TU test track and transport people free of charge. A car, a van and a delivery robot also run along the route. The latter may even be able to deliver the ordered food to the zoo. The entire test route leads from the Brandenburg Gate via Ernst-Reuter-Platz to the Memorial Church.
The project called BeIntelli of the TU Berlin is carried out with eleven other partners, including for example ADAC, BVG, Continental, DAI-Labor, IAV, TÜV Nord, T-Systems or the VMZ. The project also aims to develop an operating system for autonomous driving. Like the Mobility Space office, the test field also wants to use the bus to attract public acceptance of the technology.
