Summary
Self-driving vehicles as part of a connected mobility system are posing completely new challenges compared to conventional driver-centric vehicles. The UNICARagil consortium has developed disruptive architectures for a future mobility system, covering all relevant domains inside and outside of the vehicle. Its modular structure in combination with adequate project organization and tools enable an agile and distributed vehicle development, which is demonstrated during the ongoing construction of four vehicle prototypes. This paper outlines the key factors enabling this agile vehicle development from an organizational and technical point of view.
