SIXT / hackaTUM 2021

Welcome to the SIXT challenge @hackatum2021. This year everything is about robo taxis. At IAA we announced our cooperation with Intel / MobileEye to launch a level 4 robo taxi service in Munich later in 2022 TechCrunch

Its up to you: Build something great around robo taxi / autonomous vehicles!

Some ideas:

• Where should a vehicle go after a passenger dropped off? The car can't just wait on a busy street.
• Which vehicle fits best for serving a booking?
• For development we probably need a automatic simulator for our booking engine
• Build trust
• Come up with your own idea!
