…and software platform before developing their own controls. The Dallara cars had 326 horsepower and four cylinders, as well as a special clutch for smooth autonomous shifting. “Everyone was collaborative—the more capable the cars can be, the better for all of us,” Suvarna said. “The base vehicle software stack took us to 30 mph, and then we built up. If we had a problem, we could pull people from other teams.” “As soon as you turn a car on, it doesn't work magically,” she said. “There's some degree of uncertainty with estimating where things are at a higher level.” “At…

…3 and 4, respectively. At CES Unveiled, IAC executives will offer an in-depth look at the innovation behind the Dallara AV-21 autonomous racecar. At the IAC press conference, Mitchell, special guests, and partners will discuss enhanced technology in this year's vehicles, plans for engaging more teams, and transitioning into other race formats in 2023 and 2024. They will also discuss how teams have advanced to achieve full interaction at high speeds between two autonomous agents without vehicle-to-vehicle communication.

…IAC to enable the reference autonomy software on the Dallara AV-21 race car used in the first IAC competition at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and now we’ll enable IAC teams advance autonomous driving algorithms with state-of-the-art racing simulation based on AWSIM,” said Christian John, TIER IV North America president and AWF Strategic Planning Committee chair. TIER IV created the Autoware open-source software for autonomous driving (AD). It also provides full-stack systems for the commercialization of intelligent vehicles based on the Autoware-defined Autonomous Driving Kit (ADK), which runs on multiple platforms. AWSIM is the Unity-based simulation platform for autonomous vehicle testing developed…

…vehicles to be designed, engineered, and built. They include Dallara and Clemson University, which is not a competitor but contributed to design and engineering. We then worked with suppliers such as Luminar for lidar, Aptiv for radar, Schaeffler for drive by wire, and Cisco for networking and vehicle-to-vehicle communications. IAC also worked with New Eagle for software and ADLINK for hardware. They're known players in the autonomous vehicle industry and saw the race as a good testbed for infrastructure. How did you choose component technology providers? Mitchell: We chose one OEM, but not using its full stack. We chose components…
