New autonomous driving record achieved by the Politecnico di Milano
The PoliMOVE Autonomous Racing Team, part of the performance division of AIDA – Artificial Intelligence Driving Autonomous – Politecnico di Milano, under the guidance of Prof. Sergio M. Savaresi from the Department of Electronics, Information, and Bioengineering, has set a new speed record for an autonomous vehicle, reaching 318 km/h (197.7 mph).
The Maserati MC20 Coupé of the Indy Autonomous Challenge, driven by the AI developed by the Politecnico di Milano, achieved a new world record for autonomous speed, reaching 318 km/h during the 1000 Miglia Experience Florida at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral. This is the same location where, in 2022, the team had already set the previous record of 309.3 km/h.
This achievement highlights the significant technological advancements made by the AIDA team in the field of autonomous driving, enhancing the safety and reliability of the developed solutions.
This exceptional milestone marks an important step forward in the development of high-performance autonomous driving and demonstrates how the knowledge gained from high-speed autonomous racing can be transferred to road vehicles. The test was conducted at the Space Florida Launch and Landing Facility, one of the world’s longest and most historic tracks.
Prof. Sergio M. Savaresi, Giulio Panzani e Matteo Corno, who teach in the Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree programs in Automation and Control Engineering, are responsible for courses such as Automation and Control in “Autonomous Vehicles”, “Automation and Control in Electric and Hybrid Vehicles” and “Process Control”, contributing their expertise to technological innovation in the field.
The Maserati MC20 Cielo then continued its journey across the United States as part of the 1000 Miglia Experience Florida, bringing Italian research excellence to the road. For more information: https://lnkd.in/e3FRvpPD
