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

Acronyms?
- BVS - Base Vehicle Software
F1TENTH is cool, but this is like NEXT LEVEL cool.
I built an autonomous car with WATonomous, that could be fine.
