Megatrends are thematic areas that present changes and currents within the industry and steer strong trends in different directions.
DIGITAL X 2024 offers 4 districts as venues for the presentations. The Stadtgarten, Friesenviertel, Mediapark and the Belgisches Viertel.
MIRA enables driverless driving through teleoperation. We are convinced that automated driving will not be possible without human interaction. This is due to unpredictable situations such as accidents, roadblocks, or system failures, where artificial intelligence reaches its limits.
MIRA achieves the spatial decoupling of driver and vehicle by means of teleoperation. This enables remote control of a vehicle via a driver’s station from any location. MIRA-equipped vehicles are controlled via visual information by a vehicle operator from the driver’s cab over a 5G cellular network.
At DIGITAL X, MIRA is demonstrating how safe, reliable teleoperated driving is already possible on public roads. The control station is exhibited in the partner pavilion at Rudolfplatz, from where one of our passenger vans is driven to the MediaPark and back by remote control. Visitors can experience live on-site how reliably and safely the teleoperator manoeuvres the passenger van through the public traffic of downtown Cologne. Our experts will be on hand to explain the possibilities of teleoperated driving to interested visitors. Exciting insights into applications in logistics and transportation in particular can be expected.
