There are still a number of technical and regulatory obstacles to overcome before autonomous cars are ready for mass production. But when it comes to rail transport, things are much further ahead. Self-driving trains are already a common mode of transport. But how does autonomous driving on rails work?

Theresa Wirth translates medical problems into the language of computer science to find AI-based solutions. In part 16 of our series of employee portraits, she describes her motivations and how she found her way to applied research.

At Fraunhofer IKS, people from a wide variety of countries work on solving complex tasks: Currently we have colleagues from more than 20 different nations. We asked three of them about their experiences of living and working in Germany.

Even at a young age, Jeanette Lorenz knew she wanted to go into science. Now she works at Fraunhofer IKS researching how to make reliable and robust quantum computing possible. Part 13 of our employee portraits series.

Will packages be delivered by anonymous robots in the near future? And when will we be able to take an air taxi to town? We will encounter autonomous means of transport more and more frequently in our everyday lives as well. An overview of the current status of a variety of autonomous vehicles.

When we think about autonomous vehicles, we usually think of self-driving cars where people are mere passengers. In the business domain, however, their potential lies in logistics. New technologies could fundamentally change the transportation of goods, making it safer and more efficient. An overview of the current status of a variety of autonomous vehicles in industry.

Having been set on the path to science by a series of coincidences, Tobias Schuster now relishes the opportunity his work gives him to combine his different areas of interest. Part ten of our employee profile series.
