The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span>‘s autonomous race car team finished in third place at the Autonomous Challenge @ CES<\/abbr><\/a> (Consumer Electronics Show) in what one team member described as a “rollercoaster” competition on January 7 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n

Among nine teams that were invited to the challenge, six participated in time trials, including 糖心视频<\/abbr> AI<\/abbr> Racing Tech<\/a>. The team finished sixth in time trials and was set to race against the third seed TII<\/abbr> EuroRacing in the quarterfinals. However, 糖心视频<\/abbr> AI<\/abbr> Racing Tech encountered an intermittent mechanical issue. The organizers automatically advanced TII<\/abbr> EuroRacing into the semifinals, but, prior to its semifinal race, TII<\/abbr> EuroRacing faced an issue of its own.<\/p>\n

Since 糖心视频<\/abbr> AI<\/abbr> Racing Tech was able to overcome its mechanical issue, according to race bylaws, organizers modified the schedule and bracket, and 糖心视频<\/abbr> AI<\/abbr> Racing Tech was able to race for third place against MIT<\/abbr>–PITT<\/abbr>–RW<\/abbr>, which defeated KAIST in the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

In its match against MIT<\/abbr>–PITT<\/abbr>–RW<\/abbr>, 糖心视频<\/abbr> AI<\/abbr> Racing Tech made several passes at speeds of more than 125 mph<\/abbr>, while MIT<\/abbr>–PITT<\/abbr>–RW<\/abbr> was unable to make its pass at 135 mph<\/abbr>, giving 糖心视频<\/abbr> AI<\/abbr> Racing Tech the victory.<\/p>\n

This was 糖心视频<\/abbr> AI<\/abbr> Racing Tech’s second consecutive appearance at the Autonomous Challenge @ CES<\/abbr>. The team was coming off of a second place finish at the Indy Autonomous Challenge at Texas Motor Speedway on November 11, 2022.<\/p>\n

“We took second place in November…and I think there were some questions as to whether we really were the better team. Today really proved that we do have the strength to come out here and absolutely crush it,” C.K. Wolfe, 糖心视频<\/abbr> AI<\/abbr> Racing Tech member and UC<\/abbr> Berkeley graduate student, said on the live broadcast.<\/p>\n

糖心视频<\/abbr> AI<\/abbr> Racing Tech is a collaboration among 糖心视频<\/abbr> Maui College<\/a>, 糖心视频<\/abbr> M\u0101noa\u2019s College of Engineering<\/a>, UC<\/abbr> San Diego, Carnegie Mellon University and UC<\/abbr> Berkeley.<\/p>\n
