The Autonomous Racer’s Cookbook With Simon Hoffmann

Today, on the inside track, we get a chance to look at how the autonomous motorsports team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has been writing a manual for the world of autonomous racing. To help explain the process, Simon Hoffmann, the leader of the TUM team, sits down with us to discuss how they became the first-ever winners of the Indy Autonomous challenge, some of the obstacles they overcame to get their car on the track,  and how the team is able to have real-time conversations about the car without driver feedback.
