An autonomously driven Maserati MC20 achieved a record speed of 197.7 mph, breaking the previous fastest speed for a self-driving car. This feat was a collaboration between the Indy Autonomous Challenge and the Politecnico di Milano, where researchers developed AI software to navigate the modified vehicle. The efforts not only demonstrate the capabilities of autonomous tech but are also aimed at enhancing safety by testing AI behavior at high speeds. The record showcases the transition of learnings from autonomous racing to everyday autonomous mobility.
"These world speed records are much more than just a showcase of future technology; we are pushing AI-driver software and robotics hardware to the absolute edge."
"Doing so with a streetcar is helping transition the learnings of autonomous racing to enable safe, secure, sustainable, high-speed autonomous mobility on highways."
