At the 2018 Goodwood Festival Of Speed (FOS), Roborace’s Robocar accomplished the first-ever fully autonomous hillclimb, becoming the first driverless electric racing car to tackle the famous FOS hill. Guided purely by automated systems, the car was equipped with a variety of sensors, giving it 360º vision.
Project Overview |
Roborace wanted to create an experience that would allow visitors to the Festival of Speed to enjoy the hillclimb from the Robocar’s point of view and relive the historic moment.
