Last Thursday we presented the new 2021 cars, ALVIER and PILATUS DRIVERLESS. We were able to host a hybrid event at the BMW Group experience center, in Dielsdorf. We unveiled the completely redesigned new electric car, Alvier, and explained the development of our driverless car, Pilatus. Unfortunately, we could only invite a very limited number of guests due to the current federal restrictions, however, we streamed the entire event that was followed by more than 350 sponsors, friends, and colleagues from other Formula Student teams around the world.

After a short introduction, the detailed technical innovations of this year’s cars were unveiled.

Following the keynote, our guest at BMW and the people following the streaming were able to assist to a live demo of both ALVIER and PILATUS DRIVERLESS. The driverless team demonstrated two disciplines that PILATUS DRIVERLESS has to perform at competitions, Autocross and Track drive. Autocross is the discipline where the car has to race on an unknown track and map on the fly while in Autocross the car has to drive ten laps of a race track.
