Indy Autonomous Challenge, on the unmanned track from 27 to 29 June 2025
The Indy Autonomous Challenge was back from 27 to 29 June 2025, after its debut in the last edition of MIMO. The initiative saw on track the Dallara AV-23, driven by a control software capable of independently driving the cars thanks to the integration of sensors, supercomputers and sophisticated hardware.
Autonomous driving software has been developed by students and researchers from some of the most prestigious universities and research centres in the world, including: Politecnico di Milano, Università degli Studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Technische Universität München (TUM) and the US MIT-PITT-RW team, formed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh, the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and the University of Waterloo.
During the 2025 edition, the Indy Autonomous Challenge brought a special exhibition to MIMO that further tested the teams and their cars, already protagonists of high-speed competitions on oval circuits in the United States, where they reached peaks of 280 km/h.
In addition, on Friday 27 June, there was the unveil of the autonomous driving Maserati GranTurismo Folgore, which we also had the opportunity to see in action on track, in the presence of Paul Mitchell and Andrea Levy.
