Info
Fast Forest is the Formula Student team of the Deggendorf Institute of Technology, founded in 2008. Starting with the past season, the team agreed on building a DV and EV car in one. Therefore, we are facing the DV challenge at FS Germany for the first time with our Jenny 12GDX. New innovations make our lovingly called GhostDriver (GD) more reliable on the track without affecting the driver during EV competition. At this point we would like to thank our sponsors for supporting us.
Engineering Design Priorities:

Info
Fast Forest is the Formula Student Team of the Deggendorf Institute of Technology. Our autonomous car Jenny8GD was build upon our existing last year's electric formula student vehicle Jenny8X. The race track is sampled by mono cameras, capturing 180° in front of the car. Objects are detected by fast machine vision algorithms and passed to our lane estimation. Software modules are connected over our messaging middleware JennyNet. We thank all our Sponsors for their great support all season long.
