Update January 9, 2022:<\/strong> UH<\/abbr> AI<\/abbr> Racing Tech had an opportunity to perform an exhibition run allowing them to take a few laps around the track to show friends, families and sponsors the morning of the competition. The car hit 100 miles per hour, but unfortunately experienced a hardware issue that caused its GPS<\/abbr> to go offline. The car hit the inner pit wall checking them out for the rest of the day. Team members are still extremely proud for what they were able to accomplish and are super excited for the next race. This race brought them to the next level and they greatly improved their perception software and vehicle controller.<\/p>\n

Five of the nine teams advanced into the main event. PoliMOVE<\/abbr> was the winner of the Autonomous Challenge @ CES<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n
