Where autonomous driving meets real winter
AllDrive Research Project Final Event
Time: Tue 2026-09-29 13.00 - 16.30
The AllDrive Project has explored how autonomous heavy-duty vehicles can move closer to real-world deployment when road conditions are unpredictable. During the afternoon, we will share key results and lessons learned in motion planning, motion control, friction estimation, integration, and winter testing.
