Autonomous braking
The future of "autonomous" braking
LSP and its cooperation partner IPGATE AG are working together to define the future of braking. With the new and special demands placed on brakes by autonomous driving and electrification and digitalization, there is now a lot of room for completely new approaches to overall systems. We have taken again this challenge!
Our Modular System Architecture (MSA) represents the combined know-how of LSP and IPGATE AG, with the two pioneers and top experts in the industry, Heinz Leiber and Dr. Anton van Zanten Heinz Leiber and Dr. van Zanten. MSA is the synthesis of one and a half decades of expertise, starting with the fundamentals of ABS, which was introduced in series production as early as 1978, the introduction of ESP, the introduction of Multi-BUS E/E architecture with gateway, and a number of other innovations in the development of Brake-by-Wire. This is where LSP contributes the knowledge gained from 15 years of developing series brake systems.
Nikola Tesla predicted the advent of mobile communications back in 1926. Heinz and Dr. Thomas Leiber have the ambition of setting yet another milestone with MSA, in the new area of “autonomous driving” – with goal of fast SOP of the first family members. Details about MSA are available to selected cooperation partners and licensees of IPGATE.
Safety first!
- Single failures have no / minimal impact on pedal feel and brake distance
- Double failures do not lead to the complete failure of brake systems
- Consistent / Safety Gate (SAG)
System architecture (SA) as design core
- New architecture with different focus on electric and hydraulic connections
- Harmonized approach to Safety Gate
All SAE solutions with significant cost reduction
- Use of common parts for all variants of SAE levels 2-4
- Use of existing manufacturing equipment (capital expenditure)
- Simple cost reduction by using few components!

This article examines the challenges and solutions for modern braking systems in the context of autonomous driving development. Critical errors in hydraulics are presented to the public for the first time and X-Boost makes its world premiere.
Different brake boosters are examined in detail with regard to the fulfillment of future requirements for autonomous driving. The article uncovers a variety of critical weak points that were previously unknown to the public. X-Boost as a braking system for autonomous driving as of SAE level 2+ exhibits some key advantages compared to follow-up brake boosters, but are not suitable for automated driving of SAE Level 3-5. Travel simulators will prevail in future solutions. 2-box solutions will gradually be replaced by 1-box systems.
This article illustrates the effects of autonomous driving (AD) on the design of future braking systems. Top experts Heinz Leiber and Dr. van Zanten boldly state that current solutions will not be enough to meet the future requirements of autonomous driving... Autonomous driving above SAE levels 3 and 4 will require a new way of thinking in terms of design and failure analysis systematics for electromechanical and electrohydraulic systems in general.
