(Image: The Robot Report)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Thousands of CES attendees packed the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the racing series, which saw nine teams representing 17 universities in six countries compete head-to-head with driverless race cars. Thousands more who weren\u2019t able to attend watched via a live simulcast on the IAC\u2019s Twitch account.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p>PoliMOVE, winner of last year\u2019s IAC at CES race series, previously set another autonomous land speed world record on April 27, 2022. That\u2019s when it achieved 192.2 mph using an autonomous race car at Space Florida&#8217;s Launch &amp; Landing Facility at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cToday was a major step forward in speed, in the complexity of the race, and in overcoming challenging head-to-head situations,\u201d Prof. Sergio Savaresi, PoliMOVE team lead, told <em>The Robot Report.<\/em> \u201cWe are very glad for this success, for the contribution of the Indy Autonomous Challenge, and for all the teams in advancing the technology of AI drivers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Giving PoliMOVE a run for its money was the Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen (TUM) team from Germany, which won the inaugural IAC event, held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in October 2022. In the final head-to-head competition on January 7, PoliMOVE and TUM made more than a dozen laps around the Las Vegas Motor Speedway track. On the final lap, TUM spun out on the racetrack\u2019s banked first turn.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><b>How Autonomous Racing Works<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Each IAC team competes with the same race car, a Dallara AV-21, but programs in their own algorithms for autonomous movement. The car&#8217;s processor uses cameras, sensors, radar, and lasers to help make informed decisions about their terrain and opponent within milliseconds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p>The autonomous Dallara AV-21 race cars from each team take turns playing the roles of leader\/defender and passer\/follower. Passes are attempted at speeds that get faster and faster until one or both cars can\u2019t make a pass.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The IAC organizes competitions for university-affiliated teams to compete using fully autonomous racecars at iconic NASCAR tracks. It began as a $1 million prize competition between 31 universities representing top STEM programs from 10 countries.<\/p>\n<p>Next up for the IAC is a June 2023 event at the famous Monza raceway near Milan, Italy, the first road-racing series for the organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The highlight of CES 2023 for racing fans was the second annual Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC), at which the victorious Team PoliMOVE (from Italy\u2019s Politecnico di Milano and the University of Alabama) set the world record for an autonomous vehicle on a racetrack \u2013 180 mph.
