UT team (DMB) second place in the Self Driving Challenge 2023.

University of Twente runner-up in Self Driving Challenge 2023.

9 June 2023 - The Self Driving Challenge at the TT Junior Track in Assen has been won by students from the University of Groningen. Their self-driving kart managed to lap the track twice in just over 15 minutes, a record in the event's history.

For a circuit, these times may not be groundbreaking, but at the Self Driving Challenge, this feat is unprecedented. This competition organised by the RDW (Dutch Vehicle Authority) challenges students to programme a self-driving, electric kart in such a way that it travels the track without human intervention. Six student teams participated this year, twice as many as last year.
