Step into the cockpit of an autonomous racecar. 🤖🏎 As we prepare for an engaging summer season, featuring races at The Goodwood Group Group's hillclimb and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, we are excited to present unique footage that offers an alternative viewpoint of autonomous racing technology in action. 🌞🏁 This footage, documented by the FTM Institute of Automotive Technology TUM in 2023, was taken during our last competition at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza for the Milano Monza Open-Air Motor Show. It provides a tangible demonstration of the advanced capabilities of our robotics platform and the participating universities' AI drivers. 🎥🚗 It was captured using a GoPro camera strategically mounted just above the enclosure of dSPACE's AUTERA AutoBox onboard computer. This positioning provides an unparalleled view of our robotics platform's functionality, showcasing its capability to autonomously navigate circuit configurations, manage throttle input, apply variable braking, and execute precise steering at high velocities. 💡🔧 #futureofmobility #autonomous #highspeedautonomy #driverless

The Rise of Robot Racing. Racing series from Formula 1, Formula E, INDYCAR, and FIA World Endurance Championship, etc., are always touting the link between racecar technology and everyday cars. The Indy Autonomous Challenge is trying to do the same with autonomous vehicles by bringing together teams of universities and companies from all over the world to run fully autonomous race cars with AI drivers to advance the field. The vehicles race two at time in heats with top speeds of 289kmh (180 mph.)

What impact will autonomous racing cars have on the automotive industry? 🏎 Professor Marko Bertogna who participated in the Indy Autonomous Challenge with the TII Unimore Racing team shared his insights with us. “If you’re able to create sufficient confidence in this autonomous computing stack on a racing setting, then it will be way easier to deploy it on actual race cars,” he emphasized. His team used the dSPACE tool AUTERA (https://okt.to/5tqXuM) to develop their autonomous race car.
