Students are developing autonomous vehicles for high-speed racing, aiming to reach speeds of over 150 miles per hour. These cars are being tested on prominent racetracks, including one in Salinas. Some participants are from the University of California, Berkeley.
Further information on this project is available, including a video report by a business and tech reporter.
Details about the students' progress and the testing process can be found in the full report, which provides more insight into the development of driverless race cars.
