Winner Autonomous Design Award
With the egn17-dv, e-gnition was part of the "Driverless" class of autonomous racing cars founded in 2017 from the very beginning. The egn16 was converted to the egn17-dv and equipped with sensors, actuators and the necessary computing power.
Due to the low speeds, the aeropackage was removed, also to make room for the laser sensors and the computer.
With the extensive, self-developed control software and the reliable vehicle, a successful entry into this new vehicle class has been achieved.
