Munich. On 1 January 2019, #alejandrovukotich will take over as Senior Vice President of the #BMW Group’s Driver Assistance and Autonomous Driving Development department.
He is being appointed to replace #elmarfrickenstein, who has been in charge of the department since its creation in May 2016. Between 2006 and 2016, #elmarfrickenstein was head of the Electrics, Electronics and Driver Environment department that was the precursor to the Driver Assistance and Autonomous Driving unit. During a career at the #bmwgroup spanning 30 years, #elmarfrickenstein has had a formative influence on vehicle electronics and channelled his energy and expertise into its advancement. He will retire on 31.03.2019 after a three-month handover phase.
Alejandro Vukotich has 19 years of experience in the field of active safety, driver assistance and autonomous driving in the German #automotive industry. He has clearly demonstrated both his engineering and his management skills in his previous positions.
The topics of driver assistance and autonomous driving play a pivotal role in the #BMW Group’s strategy for the future. Development is largely carried out at the #bmwgroup Autonomous Driving Campus in Unterschleißheim near Munich, which was officially opened in April 2018. There are currently around 1,300 specialists there from the #bmwgroup and its key partners, such as FCA, Intel and Mobileye, who are working on the development of a technology stack for highly and fully automated Level 2, 3, 4 and 5 driving. The #BMW iNEXT will be the first model from the #bmwgroup to be equipped with a Level 3 system for highly automated driving when it is launched in 2021.
