TUfast Racing Team from the TU Munich consists of 80 team members who design and build two race cars this season as a single team (electric + driverless). One Team – Two cars – TUfast. We believe our state-of-the-art planning & control, the fast and light 2017 electric car we use as the platform, the self developed perception algorithms and our agile actuation systems will contribute to our success in this season. Feel free to pay us a visit in our pit!
Engineering Design Priorities:
robust planning & control
safety and reliability
environment mapping
agile actuation

The TUfast Racing Team from TU Munich consists of 80 team members who design and build three race cars. One Team - Three Cars - TUfast. One of our main goals in designing the db017 - our self developed perception system is especially tailored to a Formula Student track. To achieve these goals, we implemented an array of sensors used for autonomous driving, tested and simulated our planning algorithms, and updated the ECU with latest TUfast software. Feel free to come to our pit and talk to us!
