The Artificial Intelligence Driving Autonomous (AIDA) project aims to reshape the future of mobility. AIDA, developed by researchers at Politecnico di Milano, is aiming to exploit autonomous driving technology to create a service to move people around cities, avoiding some of the common hurdles.
AIDA worked with Maserati to prove the concept, creating two autonomously driven MC20 sports cars, a coupe and a convertible. The MC20 Coupe set a record for a robo-driven vehicle with a top speed of 177 miles per hour (mph) at a runway at the Piacenza-San Damiano Air Base in Italy in November.
AIDA has a multi-pronged approach to the future of autonomous driving. It focuses on four main areas of research for the future: high-speed driving and racing, city life and commercial purposes.
“The project was born with an idea about the need to bring a new way to move people around Italian cities, in an efficient and more …
