Topic overview

The CityBot:
autonomous driving in urban areas
For the EDAG Group, automated driving is above all synonymous with safety and efficiency – and that applies far beyond the vehicle itself. A pioneering pilot project in this field is our CityBot: a fully automated robot vehicle, specially designed for urban areas, which impresses with its versatility.
However, autonomous driving does not end with the vehicle. A holistic approach is crucial: the CityBot is part of a comprehensive autonomous ecosystem. This includes an intelligent logistics system with autonomous control, efficient traffic management and a user-friendly booking system. A central component of this ecosystem is the mobility backend, which connects, coordinates and specifically controls all autonomous vehicles.
