We are working towards something exciting in 2025.

We are MIT Driverless

MIT Driverless’ mission is to be the hub of practical autonomy at MIT - to be the place where the brightest minds come to learn about the challenges in deploying software on full scale autonomous vehicles, and to connect them with our industry partners as they look for their future engineering leaders. To do so, we build autonomous racecars and compete in competitions around the world.

What is The Indy Autonomous challenge?

The Indy Autonomous Challenge is a $1.5 million university prize competition to win the world’s first head-to-head, high speed autonomous race at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Teams program a modified Dallara IL-15 racecar to out-race and out-maneuver fellow innovators in the world's first head-to-head, high-speed autonomous race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the world’s most famous racetrack.

The IAC is a broadly collaborative effort that brings together public, private and academic institutions to challenge university students around the world to imagine, invent and prove a new generation of automated vehicle software and inspire the next generation of STEM talent.
