A self-driving Maserati MC20 has set a new record for autonomous vehicles, reaching a speed of 197.7 mph at Kennedy Space Center. This achievement was made possible by an AI driving system developed by researchers from Politecnico di Milano in collaboration with the Indy Autonomous Challenge. The Maserati, equipped with a powerful 630 hp engine, narrowly missed its top speed of 202 mph during the record attempt.
The record-breaking run took place during the 1000 Miglia Experience Florida event, where the AI system outperformed the previous record of 177 mph set by the same vehicle. This milestone not only showcases advancements in autonomous driving technology but also emphasizes the potential for safe, high-speed autonomous mobility on highways. Paul Mitchell, CEO of the Indy Autonomous Challenge, highlighted the importance of pushing AI technology to its limits in real-world conditions.
• Self-driving Maserati sets new autonomous speed record at 197.7 mph.
• AI system developed by Politecnico di Milano enables record-breaking performance.
Autonomous driving refers to the capability of a vehicle to navigate and operate without human intervention, as demonstrated by the Maserati MC20.
An AI driving system utilizes algorithms and sensors to control a vehicle's movements, enabling it to achieve high speeds autonomously.
Politecnico di Milano is Italy's largest science and technology university, known for its research in AI and autonomous systems.
Indy Autonomous Challenge is an initiative focused on advancing autonomous vehicle technology through competitive events and research collaborations.
