Maserati MC20 with AI driver reached 318 km/h

Leave a comment

During the 1000 Miglia Experience Florida at Kennedy Space Center, the Maserati MC20 Coupe set a new speed record without a driver in the car. The car was operated by an AI-driver and the Maserati reached a speed of 197.7 mph (318 km/h).

This achievement is the result of a joint project between the Italian scientific and technological university Politecnico di Milano and the Indy Autonomous Challenge racing series. The goal was to set a new speed record, which was achieved on a track that is ideal for this. The track is about 4,572 meters long, which is quite enough for the car to reach high speeds.

Kennedy Space Center is the place from which NASA’s space shuttles took off on missions. The car used software from the PoliMOVE-MSU team, which is part of the performance department AIDA (Artificial Intelligence Driving Autonomous of Politecnico di Milano).

The video shows the Maserati MC20 accelerating and perfectly following a straight line on the runway, reaching a speed of 318 km/h, after which the brakes are activated due to the lack of a runway. If the track were longer, the Maserati MC20 would reach even higher speeds, but it might do so on a different, longer track.
