Ford Cologne Electrification Center Could Soon See Vehicles Driving off the Line by Themselves
Over 100 years ago, Henry Ford pioneered the development of the first assembly line, and since then, vehicles have been rolling off the line. Now, Ford vehicles could be rolling off the line without anyone at the wheel. We are exploring the use of Kopernikus’ AI-powered self-driving technology at the Ford Cologne Electrification Center to transport vehicles after final testing through the finish area, and finally to the marshalling yard.
Kopernikus and Continental at CES 2022
This video was taken during the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, where Kopernikus and Continental collaboratively showcased AVP. We temporarily installed our AVP2 solution on the top floor of the Renaissance Hotel’s parking lot, which was a fantastic outdoor test for our technology: With strong winds, temperature differences of up to 25 degrees Celsius throughout a typical January day in Las Vegas and under the strong Nevada sun our technology once again proved to be very reliable.
Unknown Object Detection
This video shows two of the approaches we use to perform unknown object detection: 2D detection of unknown objects with 3D map localization and free space segmentation. Both approaches work correctly in influencing the car's decision to stop when confronted with unknown objects (such as dinosaurs). Detecting unknown objects plays an important role in ensuring the safety of an AVP2 system. This video was taken during the Munich car show (IAA 2021).
AVP2 Can Be Retrofitted in Existing Parking Lots
At ITS Congress in October 2021, we showcased how to equip and operate AVP in an existing, architecturally complex infrastructure like the parking lot at Hamburg’s iconic Elbphilharmonie opera house. We maneuvered a Ford Kuga using our AVP type 2 technology. This showcase was to prove that it does not need new and standardized parking lots; it just needs smart technology like Kopernikus’ AVP2 solution to roll out smart parking to inner cities, fairgrounds, and at airports.
