Autonomous Motorsport Team from Munich, @CES TUM, clinches 150 miles per hour victory
University of Florida Autonomous Motorsport Wins Autonomous Challenge at CES 2024
In a thrilling display of technological advancement, University of Florida Autonomous Motorsport from the Technical University of Munich emerged victorious in the Autonomous Challenge at CES 2024. The competition, held at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, brought together nine teams from 18 universities spanning seven countries.
The race was a close-knit affair, with the University of Florida and KAIST teams racing side by side, getting as close as 1.5 meters from each other during the semifinal matchup. The University of Florida team's victory is a testament to the dedication of innovators and thinkers, and a clear demonstration of the strides being made in autonomous technologies.
The IAC AV-24, the most technologically advanced and fastest autonomous racecar ever assembled, showcased an unprecedented package of equipment. Three teams from nine universities demonstrated the IAC AV-24 racecar, including AI Racing Tech from the University of California, Berkeley, University of Hawai'i, and Carnegie Mellon University, PoliMOVE-MSU from Politecnico di Milano, University of Alabama, and Michigan State University, and TII EuroRacing from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia and Technology Innovation Institute.
The IAC AV-24, equipped with cutting-edge hardware and piloted by AI driver algorithms, also made history by running on the track simultaneously with two other IAC racecars after University of Florida's victory. The operation of three IAC AV-24s in total darkness continues to push the boundaries of high-speed autonomy, as demonstrated by Paul Mitchell, president of IAC.
The racecar of University of Florida Autonomous Motorsport reached maximum speeds of over 150 mph during the competition, outlining its impressive capabilities. Notably, the TII Unimore racecar passed the AI Tech Racing racecar while running in pitch black, outlined only in LED lights, showcasing the ability of autonomous vehicle technology to function without visible light.
