The ultimate challenge for autonomous driving
Prove the maturity of your automated system in one of the most demanding real-world scenarios - from country roads and highways to the dense city traffic of Munich.
Put your system to the test
Together with our partners, IAA MOBILITY and DEKRA, we have launched the “Autonomous Driver Licence” (ADL). Our aim is to demonstrate the robustness and safety of automated driving systems not in the laboratory, but in real, unpredictable traffic situations.
The route: 20 kilometers of pure challenge
Navigate a complex route from the rural outskirts of Munich to the heart of the metropolis.
- Dense city traffic: master complex junctions and the hustle and bustle of the city center.
- Country roads: Tackle fast bends and changing conditions.
- Highway: Demonstrate stability and safety at high speeds.
Your participation
Participating in the ADL is more than just a test. It is your stage to demonstrate technological leadership on a global level.
International attention
Present your technology to a global audience of experts, investors and media at the IAA MOBILITY 2025, one of the largest mobility trade fairs in the world.
Symbolic driver's licence
Upon successful completion, you will receive the symbolic “Autonomous Driver Licence” as part of a PR-accompanied ceremony - a strong message for your communication work.
Validation by experts
The performance of your system is assessed by the independent expert organization DEKRA. A valuable seal of quality that creates trust.
We support you in getting started
To lower the barrier to entry and create a level playing field, we provide a comprehensive data set of the entire test track.
Our partners
The Autonomous Driver Licence is an initiative supported by leading players in the mobility industry.
