Whether it is the procedure for the TÜV approval of vehicles, the examination questions for the driving licence test or legal requirements for the approval of automatic traffic jam assistants in cars - Jürgen Bönninger (65), a graduate engineer from Dresden, has played a decisive role in all of these topics over the past three decades. Jürgen Bönninger's companions remember him as a "professionally outstanding engineer", a "visionary and sustainable entrepreneur", a "promoter of science" and a "politically committed citizen who courageously stands up for civil liberties and social cohesion".

It was this wealth of decades of commitment that prompted the TU Dresden to confer an honorary doctorate (Dr.-Ing. E. h.) on the Managing Director of Dresden-based FSD Fahrzeugsystemdaten GmbH in a ceremony on 2 June 2022.

A detailed article on this can be found in the faculty's own online magazine "Verkehrslage".
