…to provide a platform for students to excel in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). The first Indy Autonomous Challenge was held in October 2021 in Indianapolis, with TUM Autonomous Motorsport winning the $1 million top prize. Between each challenge, numerous hardware components are updated, noted the event organizers. Last week, the Indy Autonomous Challenge announced its premier sponsors, which provided the latest technology refresh of the cars. The hardware was identical, so each of the nine teams had to develop artificial intelligence to fully autonomously sense, steer, and adapt in real time on the track. ASPIRE, a program of…
