Level 4 approval for INYO CAB

New milestone in the Nemobil project: KBA approves Level 4 for the INYO CAB with the AD stack from TH Augsburg

The German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) has now granted the Technical University of Augsburg (THA), the consortium partner in the NeMo.bil project, approval to test a Level 4 system for autonomous driving throughout Germany.

As part of a funded project (Nemobil), our INYO Mobility GmbH CAB was automated to Level 4 in addition to the actual project goals. Three years ago, our CAB was still on a blank sheet of paper, but now it has L4 approval according to AFGBV throughout Germany. So it wasn't an existing production vehicle, such as a VW bus, that was equipped with an additional AD system, but a prototype that had just received road approval shortly before. Experts can imagine what was necessary to achieve this: expertise, inventiveness, and a bit of patience and effort. Here, an entire team knows what it is doing and was able to make it happen.

"We are proud to be able to play a decisive role in the journey towards autonomous driving with the Level 4 approval at the Technology Transfer Center of the Technical University of Augsburg in Landsberg am Lech," says Prof. Dr.-Ing. Carsten Markgraf.

Many thanks to our colleagues at Augsburg University of Applied Sciences, especially Carsten Markgraf, Julian Staehler, Samuel Leitenmaier, and the rest of the TTZ Data Science and Autonomous Systems team in Landsberg am Lech! Gordon Thomas Rohrmair and, of course, all our silent and active supporters and friends!
