If we use vehicles for their intended purpose, we will no longer have transport problems. All seats are occupied (75% fewer vehicles on the road), traffic flows smoothly thanks to extremely high speeds (we all drive at 160 km\/h) and all luggage space is filled (no cubic metres are left unused). IT and technology make this possible; hopefully it will remain safe. <\/p>\n

If only that were true, we only use a fraction of expensive capital goods (vehicles) to feel a sense of freedom. ADAS is growing rapidly to make mobility safer, but our behaviour is not helping us find the right direction. <\/p>\n

SPARC (Scaleable Platform ARChitecture) – Within the HAN Engineering and Automotive academy, an initiative has been launched to develop a suitable, scalable platform with students, supported by lecturers, researchers and the business community, in which use cases, value cases and business cases form the building blocks for technological development in a transition to level 5 autonomous driving.<\/p>\n

Thanks to its modular design, SPARC can grow from small and manoeuvrable to long with a high load capacity. SPARC is an open source project. What is built on SPARC is not up to us. Make use of what is available, what is already known; apply knowledge and science! <\/p>\n

The wheel has already been invented, so why go to all that trouble again?<\/p>\n
