The autonomous racing team from the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) has set a new land speed record for self-driving cars.
As reported in the Indy Autonomous Challenge press release, a new engine, 30% more powerful, helped them set the record. It will be used in cars in the next competitions.
Record car, Dallara AV-21, equippedLiDAR, six cameras, sensors, four radar automatic drives, nVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 GPU and autonomous driving system, demonstrated an upgraded 4-cylinder turbocharged engine.
The Indy Autonomous Challenge is a race withfull-scale autonomous cars. The main concept is that teams use identical cars and compete to create the most effective algorithms for controlling them.
The PoliMOVE racing team is a joint projectPolitecnico di Milano and the University of Alabama, won the world's first autonomous car race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway back in January, earning $150,000 in the process.
