…Motor Speedway. The rules of the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) required each team to compete in a fastest-lap competition that included an obstacle-avoidance component. The winning team recorded a two-lap average speed of 135.944 mph on the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) oval. Organized by Energy Systems Network and the IMS, the IAC said its primary goal is to advance technology that can speed the development of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and the commercialization of fully autonomous vehicles (AVs). The organizers claimed the competition will lead to increased safety and performance in motor sports as well as all modes of…

…and only female co-captain at the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC). She does not have a driver's license, but she is studying computer engineering and robotics software. Suvarna spoke with Robotics 24/7 about the preparations for the event. “We started out by ourselves in February 2020,” she said. “It was a big effort to fund the $1.2 million competition vehicle. Sponsors brought it down to $300,000.” The Pitt students set a deadline for themselves of October 2020, and they were able to identify partners at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and other schools. “We later brought in more students from the…
