L’Self-driving cars from the Polytechnic University of Milan has reached a top speed of 179 km/h against 162 km/h of the record previous. Everything took place in complete safety on a complex track and in bad weather conditions.
Milan Polytechnic’s self-driving vehicle breaks speed record
The PolyMOVE-MSU team from the Politecnico di Milano, in collaboration with Michigan State University, has managed to achieve a new record with its self-driving vehicle at the Goodwood Festival of Speedin the United Kingdom.
On July 14, 2024, the Self-Driving Vehicle: Indy Autonomous Challenge Dallara AV24has successfully completed the historic Goodwood Hill Climb (1.86 km) in just 66.4 secondsthus beating the previous record of 67.0 seconds. Not only that, this extraordinary supercar managed to reach a top speed of 179 km/h, exceeding the previous 162 km/h.
As mentioned earlier, the self-driving car from the Polytechnic University of Milan managed to complete the Goodwood Hillclimb perfectly and without problems in just 66.4 seconds. Go through the Goodwood Hill Climb It is a huge challenge as the roads are narrow, uneven and there is little satellite tracking. Each year this thrilling route becomes one of the most difficult routes in motor racing, offering companies, drivers and teams a valuable opportunity to showcase their cars and driving skills.
Professor Sergio Savaresi of the Polytechnic University of Milan, stated:
“This challenge represents an important milestone for autonomous mobility. This weekend we overcame significant difficulties imposed by a complicated track and unfavorable weather conditions…Thanks to the exceptional work and expertise of our engineering team, we have made history, demonstrating to the public that safe, high-speed vehicle autonomy is possible even in adverse situations. Our record at the Goodwood Festival of Speed will allow the public to more naturally and confidently accept the transition to urban and low-speed testing of these technologies and developments..”
Indy Autonomous Challenge Dallara AV24, features
L’Indy Autonomous Challenge Dallara AV24 is a fully autonomous racing cardesigned and built by the Politecnico di Milano, to push the boundaries of technology and artificial intelligence in the automotive sector.
The main features of this innovative superar are the following:
