America's First Autonomous F-1 Race Will Take Place At Indy Motor Speedway Next Fall
Competition is a good way to help move the technology forward. I'm sure Purdue and Rose Hulman will be represented. Should be interesting.
Next fall more than 36 universities will be racing at the "Indy Autonomous Challenge" - an all autonomous race that will be held at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The race is a 20 lap head to head contest with a $1.5 million cash prize at stake. The purpose of the race is to help advance autonomous driving, according to WSJ. We'll tune in for the same reason we watch most other motor sports - to see if anyone crashes.
