The Digital and High-Frequency Electronics Section is coordinating student teams participating in the Formula Student Driverless competition. To support the teams, the section provides key hardware components — including the vehicle platform, sensors, onboard computers, and a starter software and hardware framework. This allows students to focus on developing advanced electronic systems and high-level algorithms for autonomous driving while building on a proven platform.
What the section provides
Vehicle platform
The F1 car itself — chassis, drivetrain and steering, ready to be raced.
Sensors
LiDAR and camera hardware for perception, localisation and obstacle detection.
Onboard computers
Embedded compute on the car, sized for real-time processing at racing speed.
Starter framework
A software and hardware starting point, so teams build on a proven base instead of from zero.
Under the shell
Everything a team needs to go from a static chassis to a car that drives itself.
