Indy Autonomous Challenge

MIT-PITT-RW

MIT-PITT-RW is a joint team between MIT, University of Pittsburgh, Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Waterloo that competes in the Indy Autonomous Challenge. I joined the Perception team.

I will do whatever it takes for me to see this car running in-person, I want to dedicate my next year until January (for the Indy Race) to this and June (for the Monza race).

Me with our car. Learn more at https://www.mitpittrw.com/

The cars are entirely owned by IAC. They cover the logistics of track days, and the transportation of the car.

Iโ€™ve joined the Perception team. Going to first focus on localization, since this is the reason that I lost on the F1TENTH competition.

F1TENTH is cool, but this is like NEXT LEVEL cool.

I built an autonomous car with WATonomous, that could be fine.

Why do these videos have so few views?

How this team works

We need sponsors for:

  1. Paying the mechanics of IAC if the car crashes
  2. Paying for the transportation of the team members
