🚗💡 Innovative Parking Features on the JUPITER Platform: HMI Parking  Developing automated or connected driving functions is still challenging. But with the JUPITER platform, Porsche Engineering can accelerate the development of new ADAS functions. The open-source ROS2 framework enables modular software development and reduces the time required to experience these functions in a vehicle.  One of the key innovations supported by the JUPITER platform is the exploration of advanced parking features, such as HMI Parking. Modern parking systems provide a bird's-eye perspective of the vehicle. HMI Parking enhances the top view feature by adding an interactive interface for executing parking maneuvers. The driver can place a virtual vehicle within the top view image, and the vehicle will then automatically park itself at the chosen position.   This technology is especially useful in situations where the target parking position can’t be determined by markings or parked vehicles, allowing flexibility and enabling precise parking maneuvers.  #PorscheEngineering #AutomatedParking #FutureMobility    Cayenne E-Hybrid: Fuel consumption weighted (PHEV model range): 1,8 - 1,5 l/100 km;  Fuel consumption cobined (sustaining) (model range): 10,9 - 10,0 l/100 km; Electrical consumption combined (weighted) (model range): 308 - 286 Wh/km; CO2 Emissions weighted combined (range): 42 - 33 g/km.

🏆 Looking back on a successful 2024 Formula Student Season As the Formula Student season wraps up, we celebrate the remarkable achievements of the teams and look forward to the next chapter. Porsche Engineering in the Czech Republic is proud to support the eForce team from the Technical University in Prague and the Formula team of the Technical University in Ostrava.  This season was a milestone for both teams: Prague’s team secured top placements in Efficiency, Engineering Design, and for their Business Plan – and took an impressive 3rd place at the Hockenheimring race! Meanwhile, Ostrava's team excelled in endurance and acceleration: Their latest vehicle was highly reliable and matched the speed of the fastest combustion-engine teams. We’re excited to be part of these talented teams’ journey and can’t wait to see what they achieve next! 🚀 #FormulaStudent #PorscheEngineering #FutureEngineers

Fostering the Next Generation: BOGY Week at Porsche Engineering! 🚀 Five days filled with new insights, challenges, and hands-on experience – our BOGY interns (a career orientation program for high school students) had the opportunity to dive into various fields of Porsche Engineering. From systems integration to body systems development and soldering their own circuit boards, they saw firsthand how innovative technologies are developed and even experienced the thrill of riding in the passenger seat in our vehicles to see these technologies in action. In an interactive marketing workshop, they presented their own communication concepts for real-life scenarios – a fantastic way to bring creative ideas to life. We love supporting young talents on their journeys – who knows, maybe we will see some of them again in the future! 🚗💻 Thanks to everyone who helped make this week such a success! #PorscheEngineering #BOGY #FutureEngineers
