AD-ready eShuttle
A road-capable vehicle platform for automated-driving integration
eVersum provides the electric M3 vehicle, redundant actuation architecture, vehicle controls and interfaces required to integrate a specialist third-party automated-driving system.
Status of the vehicle as delivered
The base eShuttle AD-ready vehicle is delivered as an SAE L0 vehicle unless a separately contracted automated-driving system has been integrated, validated and authorised. The architecture is designed to support L3/L4 use cases within a defined operational design domain. The achieved automation level is project- and system-specific.
Responsibility split
Third-party automated-driving system (SDS) partner — perception, localisation, prediction, planning and automated-driving compute.
Joint integration — interfaces, control allocation, safety concept, operational design domain, validation and the regulatory case.
eVersum — vehicle platform, redundant steering, propulsion and actuation interfaces, safety power supply, embedded vehicle control, diagnostics and vehicle-level integration.
Use-case modules
Public transport — feeder routes, low-demand corridors and first/last-mile services on defined, repeatable alignments, operated conventionally today and prepared for staged automated operation with an SDS partner.
Airports — airside and landside passenger transfer between terminals, remote stands and car parks, where route geometry, speeds and access control support a clearly bounded operational design domain.
Ports and campuses — industrial sites, business parks, port areas and visitor destinations with private or semi-private road networks and controlled traffic.
Validation fleets — small series of instrumented, redundantly actuated vehicles for SDS partners, research programmes and operators building evidence for validation and regulatory authorisation.
