dSPACE has been a technology sponsor for the IAC since 2022, providing simulation and on-vehicle computing solutions. The partnership has expanded to include software-in-the-loop technology, enabling teams to refine their AI algorithms for high-speed racing. The IAC, a non-profit organization, organizes competitions among university teams to advance autonomous vehicle technology. The event attracts top engineering talent globally and aims to establish a hub for performance automation. The collaboration with dSPACE and AWS is crucial for achieving sim-to-real validation, allowing teams to prepare effectively for the race.
Key takeaways:
- The Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) at CES 2025 will feature Multicar Races for the first time, with more than two autonomous racing cars competing side-by-side.
- dSPACE is supporting the IAC as a software-in-the-loop technology sponsor, providing university teams with its SIMPHERA simulation solution hosted on AWS Cloud.
- The SIMPHERA solution allows for flexible resource allocation and parallel execution of test scenarios, enhancing the testing process for AI driver software.
- The IAC aims to advance autonomous vehicle technology by attracting top engineering talent through innovative competitions.
