This module introduces the principles of automated driving.
Professional competences:
The stud The students:

• discuss different levels of automated driving (eg. SAE-Level) and the differences
• discuss different levels of connected driving and the differences
• discuss core-domains of automated vehicles
• discuss important technological pillars in the areas sense, plan, and act
• discuss transition between different levels of automation
• discuss the impact of connected vehicle functions on automated driving
• discuss the impact of automated vehicle functions on connected driving
• characterise the impact of automated and connected driving on road traffic
• characterise the interaction of humans and automated and connected vehicles
• design an abstract procedure for the change of different levels of automation
• design a rough vehicle architecture for automated and connected drivingents:

Methodological competences:
The students:

• analyze complex automated and connected vehicles (-> domains)
