For the first time, FZD participated in the Practical Vehicle Course at the Lausitzring. This annual event, organized by TU Dresden in cooperation with other academic institutions and OEMs, gives automotive engineering students the opportunity to experience theoretical knowledge directly in a hands-on setting. Each testing station was accompanied by short theory sessions, and FZD co-hosted the station focused on driver assistance systems.

This year, in addition to FZD, departments from TH Ingolstadt, HTW Dresden, and TU Dresden as well as OEMs Porsche, BMW, and Audi were represented at the event.
