Safer autonomy with TÜV SÜD
AutonomouStuff recently undertook a months-long collaboration with TÜV SÜD to create a safety concept for the PACMod 3.0 drive-by-wire system.

We invested in this process , with safety at the forefront of our minds, to accelerate the road approval for our Lexus RX450h Automated Research Development Platform in Germany and throughout Europe.

"We targeted the highest government standard in designing our Lexus PACMod safety concept to be approved for public road testing in Germany," said AutonomouStuff founder and CEO Bobby Hambrick. "This achievement provides the market with a safer drive-by-wire system that could be approved for public road use around the world."

For our customers, this will:
  • accelerate development of software, components and systems.
  • reduce time spent seeking government approval for testing on public roads.
  • provide safety protocols developed with expert input.
  • remove logistical obstacles for transport of approved platforms.

We are extremely proud of this achievement by our engineering team. Learn more about the approval and read the full press release here .

Meet the team: Joyce Murphy
Joyce Murphy joined the AutonomouStuff team in November 2018 as an operations associate, transferring her logistical skills to an entirely new industry. That meant adapting the way she tackled familiar challenges — sourcing ingredients, planning research and development — to a fresh role and a different scale.

" My first week with AutonomouStuff I had to make a phone call to a customer in Australia; coming from the perishable food industry where our farthest delivery was across the country, this was new and exciting to me," Joyce said. "It’s amazing to be able to work with brilliant people all over the world in this ever-evolving industry. "

We are grateful for the resourcefulness of our employees, and the skills they adapt from other industries to help solve the challenges of autonomous research and development!
