An Autonomous Competition Team From The Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) Set A New Land Speed Record For The Autonomous Vehicle It Is Reported That It Has Set A Two-way Average Speed Record Of 192.2 Miles Per Hour (309.3 Kilometers Per Hour) On The Space Shuttle Runway At The Kennedy Space Center.
Polimove Racing Team Is A Joint Project Of Milan Polytechnic University And The University Of Alabama. As Early As January This Year, Polimove Won The World's First Independent Head-to-head Car Race In Las Vegas, And Also Won A Prize Of 150000 US Dollars In The Process. Now, Its Name Is Also Written In The Land Speed Book.
This Is A Strange Idea. A Autonomous Vehicle Is Praised For Running Fast In A Straight Line - If There Is No Human Driver On The Car, It Is Difficult To Be Excited About The Risks Involved, And The Whole Thing Will Lose Any Adrenaline. On The Other Hand, This Is A Racing Car With Its Purest Form As The Development Of Technology. Self Driving Streetcars May Drive Very Carefully, But There Are Always Times When These Machines Will Accidentally Find Themselves At The Limit Of Traction, Cornering Grip And Even Linear Stability. Obviously, It Has The Ability To Predict And Deal With Some Difficult Driving Situations In The Future, So It Can Provide A Place For The Development Of AI. IAC Competition Has Certainly Attracted A Lot Of Interest From All Over The World. It Is Reported That 41 University Teams Have Signed Up.
This Record Car Is The Dallara Av-21, Which Is Equipped With Lidar, Camera, Sensor, Autopilot Actuator, NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 Graphics Processor And Autopilot Brain. In The Process, It Shows The Upgraded 4-cylinder Turbocharged Engine Kit, Which Is About 30% More Power Than The Previous Generation Of 335kw (449hp).
Professor Sergio Savaresi, Head Of The Milan Polytechnic University Team, Said: "We Are Running A Car That Runs On Algorithms Alone. Here, Accuracy Is The Most Important, And Any Small Prediction Error Can Lead To Completely Different Results. This Trial Run Is Exciting, We Are Excited About The World Record, But We Are Also Excited That These Data Will Be Made Available To Everyone, And The Industry Will Benefit From Our Work And Learning."
