Maserati recently achieved a new autonomous driving world speed record with a modified MC20 supercar at Kennedy Space Center for the Indy Autonomous Challenge. The PoliMOVE-MSU team from Politecnico di Milano developed the AI driver software, breaking the previous record of 192.8 mph set with an Indy NXT car. Utilizing a 2.8 mile runway at Kennedy Space Center, the MC20 reached 197.7 mph, surpassing the previous record by 4.9 mph and setting a new production car record by 20.7 mph. The high-speed tests aim to assess AI-driven vehicles’ behavior in extreme conditions, enhancing safety and reliability for urban mobility situations. The Indy Autonomous Challenge, a competition for self-driving technology, has evolved with races at various speedways, focusing on pushing the boundaries of autonomous driving capabilities. Paul Mitchell, CEO of Indy Autonomous Challenge, emphasizes the importance of advancing AI-driver software to enable safe and sustainable high-speed autonomous mobility.
