Designed by automotive futurist Daniel Simon and outfitted with a bevy of cameras, sensors, Lidar, and Radar systems, the Robocar Driverless Race Car promises autonomous driving at high-speeds. The car will run in the Roborace, a series of global driverless racing events. A 540kW battery and four 300kW motors provide power, carbon fiber makes up most of the chassis and body, and it’s “driven” by a Nvidia Drive PX2 brain capable of 24 trillion operations per second. Combined with advanced algorithms, it should be capable of navigating circuits at speeds of over 198 mph, making for compelling racing without the need for a driver.
