The MIA is a fully electrified small series vehicle equipped with additional actuators, sensors and electronics for autonomous driving. The available hardware and software interfaces and sensor mounting racks allow the test of additional sensors as well as the development of new algorithms for research and development purposes. Further it can be used as a validation platform. With basic autonomy functions (vehicle control, environment perception, mapping and localization) the system meets the requirements for various development and validation levels. The vehicle is EMC tested and by the road traffic act (StVO)  approved*. It may be used either on closed test areas/tracks or on public streets**.

*For manual driving in public traffic.
**Tests on private test areas/tracks  or on public areas may require additional approval.
