time Now for your daily tech check
the future of autonomous driving may be a lot closer than you think.
But don't worry because safety is still at the top
of mind when developing at these vehicles and this technology.
In fact,
that's one of the priorities of the Indy autonomous challenge or
waste where young minds but autonomous driving systems through extreme tests.
Cheddar news,
Michele Castelli was at the historic Las Vegas motor speedway to check it all out,
take a look.
The top drivers in the world have competed at the historic Las Vegas motor speedway.
But the difference is this race where the cars will go upwards of 170
MPH,
there won't be any drivers.
Welcome to the Indy autonomous challenge where young minds
are putting autonomous driving systems through extreme tests.
What happens in this garage will shape the future of the auto industry?
The indiana thomas, challenges in R and D.
Development platform for college students to work with autonomous vehicles just
because of the fact that at 120 140 miles an hour,
you start to see issues out of the software
that you really don't see in these urban environments.
These cars operate on the very edge of what is physically possible
here? Artificial intelligence is pushed to its limit.
So it's how do you manage that? How do you deal with it?
How do you predict during a race during an event?
How that performance may degrade
and how your controllers and your algorithms need to adapt to it.
Teams are focused on collaboration more than competition.
The goal
to push innovation in the A. V space,
I'd probably say that rather than trying to implement unique strategies,
we're all trying to be
the best at perfecting out our bugs and our problems.
We're trying to do it quicker than the rest
to achieve that basic autonomy.
The car specs are the same
but the racist thin margins come down to refining the algorithm.
We're developing software. It's gonna eventually hopefully be used on the road
is going to inspire much more agile autonomy. Although the drivers are machines,
the sport still delivers the on and off track drama. You come to expect.
We started to slide and eventually hit the
so we've now realized that, you know,
we should probably monitor when we should actually change gears.
Also definitely monitor track conditions because if it is called it can be risky.
It's the high speed stakes that provide the learnings that
will one day make autonomous driving safer for everyone.
A lot of what
the public gets to see about autonomous driving is
Tesla had another crash into a sign or something.
But with this it's easy to get excited about it and it's
easy to see it as something that's more fun at C.
E. S in Las Vegas.
I'm Michelle cecilia.
Okay,
so if you want to know more about how technology is transforming the auto industry,
be sure to tune in for tech check.
That's cheddar news, month long deep dive into CS 20 at 23 such cool stuff
that Michelle was able to work on out there in Vegas.
