MIA
Open development, test and verification platform for autonomous driving
Technical Details
System description
The MIA test and development platform was a fully electric small series vehicle that had been equipped with additional actuators, sensors and control electronics for autonomous driving. With the available hardware and software interfaces and sensor support platforms, the platform made it possible to test additional sensors and develop new algorithms for research and development purposes. It could also be used as a validation platform. With basic autonomy functions (vehicle control, environment perception, mapping and localization), the system fulfilled the necessary requirements for different levels of development and validation. The vehicle was EMC-tested and approved in accordance with the German Road Traffic Regulations*. It was allowed to be driven both on closed test sites and in public traffic**.
The vehicle was taken out of service in 2024.
* For manual driving in public traffic.
**Additional permits may be required for testing on private closed areas or in public traffic.
