In yesterday's Indy Autonomous Challenge, university teams from around the world raced fully autonomous cars at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. As much can be learned from the teams that didn't complete the competition as from the winner. In the case of the MIT-PITT-RW team, the “scrappy undergrads” were not able to finish the race, but their experience was valuable to the students and autonomous vehicle research. Leading into the event, the University of Pittsburgh team faced challenges including developing software that could handle perception and steering at high speeds, getting funding, and working with partners across the country.
