Carolo Cup - framtidens fordon i miniatyr studenterna ska konstruera, bygga och programmera en bil, skala 1:10, från scratch. Bilen ska helt autonomt, kunna följa sin fil på en bana och hantera korsningar på ett säkert sätt, den ska parkera sig själv Christian Berger, universitetslektor, Software Engineering Miniatyrfordonen bygger på teknik som tagits fram inom projektet Gulliver.
