My name is Annemike Unterschütz.
I study computer science and math at the Technical University Darmstadt
and in my free time, I am on the Dart Racing team.
The first time we were on the test track and
the car started driving without a driver
was one of those moments where all I really
wanted to do was press the panic button and stop the car.
But once it had driven a few laps, it was
just fascinating to watch.
We’re here with a driverless car today.
It’s a first for Formula Student and for
us, and it’s definitely something special.
Bosch in Abstatt has always supported us.
We’ve been there a few times.
They gave us feedback that really helped us,
especially during development.
Stiasny: We’re here as a sponsor today.
We’ve met very committed and motivated students
here who are getting a truly realistic insights.
Keck: I’m on the KA Racing Driverless team.
We compete in the driverless categories,
where the race cars have to navigate the track without a driver.
Right now, we’re about to head over to the
skip pad event, where the cars drive a figure eight –
this can be very difficult,
depending on the weather conditions.
All should go well if the track is somewhat
dry and has some grip to it.
Stiasny: I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for the
teams, at any rate.
All the work and effort, all the months spent
working really intensely on this goal:
I hope it pays off for the team.
More importantly, I hope they have fun – and
so do we, as a sponsor.
Bosch has supported us from the start with
expertise and in the selection of our sensor technology,
What kind is best suited and
how we can make the project a success the quickest.
Herrmann: What we’re seeing here with driverless driving
at FSG is truly impressive.
The teams have made tremendous progress within
the space of a year.
Watching the car drive the track in the end,
and making good time, makes you very proud.
