Chemnitz Automated Driving Alliance (CADA) is a leading innovation hub in Chemnitz, Germany, focused on advancing autonomous mobility through real-world experience. By connecting universities, technology partners, and industry leaders, CADA gives students and engineers hands-on access to autonomous vehicle hardware, professional-grade software stacks, and operational test environments. This practical approach ensures talent develops skills in ODD-based development, perception, control, and system integration, while working on real deployments—not just simulations.
Located in one of Europe’s most dynamic regions for autonomous driving, CADA offers access to drive-by-wire platforms, ADAS/AD toolchains, teleoperation frameworks, and model-region deployments. Upcoming initiatives include open-source collaboration projects, training programs on real autonomous vehicles, and workshops in perception and teleoperation. With its strong industry-academia network, CADA is sharing Saxony into a leading destination for learning, building, and launching careers in autonomous mobility—powered by real projects and real experience.
