Car #549
Info
We are proud to present the second Driverless racecar FAUmax byssa. For this year's DV car, we have crucially updated and optimized virtually all the components of our autonomous system. Among vast improvements to our algorithms and software pipeline, the other highlights of our autonomous system are the new pneumatic “Emergency Brake System” and our new sensor setup. We are excited to enter the last standalone Driverless competitions with FAUmax byssa.

Car #549
Info
For the first time in its history, High-Octane Motorsports e.V. participates at FSG with two cars. Besides the combustion vehicle FAUmax my, a second driverless combustion vehicle, the FAUmax athena was designed. It is based on the successful FAUmax lambda of 2018. Next to e-steering, e-throttle, e-clutch, and the emergency brake system, it was updated with new sensors and computing units tailored for autonomous driving. FAUmax athena is the beginning of an exciting FS Driverless journey.
