The Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®
today announced that after making history at CES 2022 with the
world’s first-ever, head-to-head autonomous racecar competition, that the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) will
return to CES 2023®. The Autonomous
Challenge @ CES will take place at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday,
January 7, 2023. The event will be limited to CES attendees and transportation
will be available from the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) to the Las Vegas
Motor Speedway.
“The
Autonomous Challenge @ CES in January brought a new level of excitement to CES
with the world’s first head-to-head autonomous racecar competition, pushing
autonomous driving technology to its limits,” said Jean Foster, senior vice
president marketing and communications, CTA. “We are thrilled to welcome the
Indy Autonomous Challenge back to CES 2023, and can’t wait to see how the
research being done on autonomous vehicles through this competition will
advance the industry.”
Collaborating
with partners like AWS, Cisco, Continental, Dallara, dSPACE, and Luminar, the
IAC is pushing limits for the entire autonomous community and helping to
increase safety and performance of this life saving technology, not only in
motorsports, but across all modes of commercial transportation. The primary
goal of this competition is to solve real world problems by advancing
technology that will speed the commercialization of fully autonomous vehicles
and deployments of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
“We bring
together the best university minds in AI, robotics, and automation from around
the world and match them with cutting edge technology from industry leading
companies to make the impossible possible,” said Paul Mitchell, president, Indy
Autonomous Challenge. “We come to CES because this competition is not only
catapulting autonomous technologies forward, but it’s also educating and
inspiring innovators and entrepreneurs for generations to come.”
