📢 This week, we had the pleasure of attending the @SAEIntl AutoDrive Challenge in Ann Arbor, Michigan. 🚗💨 🎯 The AutoDrive Challenge aimed to promote STEM education and foster innovation. We witnessed participating university teams rise to the occasion as they developed and showcased their very own autonomous vehicle⚡(AV). These remarkable vehicles conquered urban driving courses, aligning with SAE Standard (J3016) Level 4 automation. 🤝 We couldn't pass up the chance to support these brilliant young minds on their journey. We proudly donated some of our products to the students, and boy, did they put them to work! 🚨 It was a sight to behold as we saw these enthusiastic learners dive right in and get their hands dirty, delving deeper into the world of automotive engineering. ⚙ ✨ We are honored to have been a part of this transformative event and look forward to witnessing the incredible achievements these talented students will undoubtedly accomplish. 🤩 #IntrepidControl #AutoDriveChallenge #STEMeducation #FutureInnovators #AutomotiveEngineering #SupportingYouth #SAEInternational #AutonomousVehicles #YoungEngineers #SAEStandard #Level4Automation #Event #Michigan

University teams are hard at work for the final day of SAE's AutoDrive Challenge™ II in partnership with @GM! Best of luck to all ten teams on their scored runs of the Highway Challenge and the Intersection Challenge today. #AutoDriveChallenge

Hanging by the highway portion of the MCity track. Hiding behind a control box. Waiting for automated cars to go by so I can put them in the moving pictures. Last day on location for the big scoring run of the week. #AutodriveChallenge

I watched a deal go down today. More about it Saturday. #AutodriveChallenge

Good morning from #AutoDriveChallenge Day 5!

#AutodriveChallenge Day 4: More video coverage of the event, big push for student and sponsor interviews and pulling together the "story" edit of the highlight video that will play at Saturday's Award Ceremony (that I'm also producing for live stream). 2 more days @ MCity!

Accelerating professional and academic progress. This week, we joined the next generation of AV Engineers at the Fall KickOff Workshop for the #AutoDriveChallenge! @Cepton is proud to support the program as an official sponsor and exclusive #lidar supplier

Starting off the #AutodriveChallenge Year 2 Kickoff!

#Congrats aUToronto, UofT Engineering #selfdrivingvehicle team for 1st place in year 1 of 4-year #AutoDriveChallenge™ II. The team, supervised by Profs Waslander, Barfoot, Kelly & Schoellig @UTIAS was 1st all 4 years of the original AutoDrive Challenge™ kont.ly/f221796a

Great night working with Danielle from @RocketCentralUS and Ed from @PremierEventAV to execute the in person and online #AutodriveChallenge Awards Ceremony on their home turf!

That’s a wrap for Dynamic Events at Mcity! #AutodriveChallenge

Car shopping? #AutodriveChallenge

Afternoon scored challenges on the highway. #HighwaytotheDangerZone #AutodriveChallenge

Scoring runs for #AutodriveChallenge kicking off this morning!

SAE's #AutoDriveChallenge II is underway! The AutoDrive Challenge aims to have participating universities develop & demonstrate an AV that can navigate urban driving courses as described by J3016™ Level 4. Check out Penn State's preparation: sae.to/3wYz5di

You could say Zach Kerr’s interest in SAE’s collegiate programs drove itself. Check out how Zach and @penn_state's Advanced Vehicle Team are preparing for next weeks #AutoDriveChallenge II! sae.to/3wYz5di

Congrats William Wakefield (’22, Applied Mathematics) for winning 1st place & a scholarship at the 2021 Michigan Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Conference! His poster’s design was on the #AutoDriveChallenge & the work the team is doing to develop an autonomous vehicle.

Back in Michigan and prepped for 2 days of live streaming for #AutodriveChallenge

Congratulation to our #AutoDriveChallenge competition team @MTUAutoDrive for placing 3rd overall this year and 1st in the US for two years running.

Our @michigantech #AutoDriveChallenge team continued their success this year at competition. #1 in the US and 3rd overall this year. #autonomousdriving #robots #autonomos
