This self-driving race car was run along with other self-driving vehicles during the event, in which it hit a speed of about 185 kmph. The report said that this self-driving car was given a tough competition by a South Korean team named Kaist.

The main reason for organizing the race was to give students teams from all over the world a chance to showcase the capabilities of self-driving vehicles to all.
