Ford is trialing AI-powered automated driving technology designed to make the production process more efficient. For the project, vehicles not only drive themselves off the assembly line, they also self-drive to final testing stations and self-charge before parking up ready for delivery to customers. The E-SELF project uses vehicle-to-infrastructure communication to control and monitor vehicles. Antennas and cameras located around the plant can identify hazards in the vehicle’s path, such as a person or another car, and vehicles are slowed or brought to a halt as required. Project leader Laura Heister explains: “We’ve got different test vehicles which are guided by an automated valet parking system which is infrastructure-based. We also have a cobot which plugs in vehicles and charges them up to a certain level. It then disconnects so the vehicle can self-drive to the next station.” Ford is conducting the two-and-a-half-year trial with partners Institute of Automotive Engineering of the Technische Universität Braunschweig and Kopernikus Automotive. The Federal Ministry of Economy and Climate Protection provided €2 million funding. Would you like be part of projects on the cutting edge of technology?
