Helping the next generation of innovators develop skills that will advance the future of mobility

On July 14, 2024, the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) self-driving racecar set a new autonomous hill climb record at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The PoliMove-MSU team that participated included students from Italy and the United States. They programmed a driverless car that relied on Bridgestone racing tires for optimal grip and control. The collaborative efforts delivered a new record finishing time of 66.37 seconds and a top speed of 111.2 mph on the iconic course.
