The IPGDriver model can be very independent. If not given any deviating orders, IPGDriver will shift gears, brake, accelerate and overtake on his own terms – and these are just a few points on the very long list of functionalities.

When simulating in the scope of ADAS and AD applications, we often want to support the driver’s actions by having our control algorithms correct his driving behavior just slightly. Sometimes, however, we want the driver to neglect his usual tasks entirely so that our assistance systems can take over and we can test our controllers. In this article I want to show you a quick and easy way to set CarMaker’s IPGDriver in a passive state.
