Space Drive 2 - already at home on the streets of the world

Space Drive 2 is a perfectly coordinated operating system of hardware and software with a revolutionary safety concept. The system enables multi-redundant control of engine, brake and steering. The basis for manual driving without a steering column, trajectory-based driving and future fully automated driving - reliable and road-legal.

Overview of product features:

• Fail-safe system (fail-operational) due to 3-fold redundant ECU as well as redundant actuators
• System voltages 12V and 24V
• Redundant power supply (backup battery)
• Road approval according to ECE-R-13, ECE-R-79 and ECE-R-10 (ISO 16750-P5) in Europe as well as worldwide acceptance and use
• Add-on solution with individual approval by TÜV
• No speed limit
• Adaptable to almost all vehicle platforms and applications
• Control of steering, accelerator, brake and secondary functions
• Open and redundant interface (2x CAN, 2x LIN, 2x FlexRay)
• Basic technology for autonomous driving

It simultaneously computes these input signals with the essential vehicle data, such as brake signal and speed, and then passes these signals on to servo motors to control the accelerator and brake pedals as well as the steering, after a logical validity check. The vehicle steers, brakes and accelerates purely "by-wire" without mechanical connections.
