The Race Is On

The biggest, boldest event in driverless development takes place this October, with $1.5 million dollars at stake. The Indy Autonomous Challenge will test 10 advanced R&D teams’ driverless vehicle algorithms at speeds up to 180 mph on the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Get an inside advance look at the engineering lessons to be learned on the track in the October 6 webinar, "Unlocking High Speed to Enable Autonomous Safety.”

Many automotive innovations have come out of Formula 1 racing and from motor sports in general. That’s why the drive to get autonomous vehicles onto the highway will benefit greatly from the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC).

Three expert engineers closely involved with the race afford you their insights:
• a race overview, chronicling the 10-month journey and the challenges encountered along the way
• how GNSS provides absolute position and the backbone for the high-speed sensor fusion aboard the 10 competing Dallara AV-21 racecars
• how LiDAR is used to provide relative localization and movement data

I have a lot cheaper version. My friends and I just chuck lap tops into the air to see which one breaks first.

What's the point?

Reminds me of the Simpsons...

"The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is clear: To build and maintain those robots."
