Flying cars and robots at the steering wheel

Nicole Meyer of the Urban Energy Systems research team supported researchers of the Transport Systems Planning division at a children's lecture with an experimental setup explaining a future hydrogen-based mobility.

On September 18th, a campus day for school classes took place within the framework of the so-called Children's University Weimar. A lecture entitled "Flying cars and robots at the steering wheel" was given by Dipl.-Ing. Raimo Harder of the Transport Systems Planning division to children of the 4th and 5th grade with 55 participants. The lecture also included demonstrations of a cargo bike and a small drone, which was controlled by M.Sc. Marco Fedior. The children were eager to find out about what is going wrong with our current mobility system, whether traffic can be environmentally friendly and what the mobility of the future may look like. This was demonstrated by M.Sc. Nicole Meyer with an experiment using a small scale model of a hydrogen fuel cell car.
