The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) has announced that Energy Systems Network, the organizer of the Indy Autonomous Challenge, will host a head-to-head, high-speed autonomous race car passing competition in conjunction with CES 2022. 

The Autonomous Challenge at CES will take place at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Friday, January 7, 2022. 

The event follows the Indy Autonomous Challenge, the first high-speed autonomous race car competition at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway that took place on October 23. The Autonomous Challenge at CES will feature several of the university teams that competed in Indianapolis, including the winner of the competition (TUM Autonomous Motorsport) and two finalists (EuroRacing and PoliMOVE).

The goal is to advance technology that can speed the commercialization of fully autonomous vehicles and deployments of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Designed by university teams, these enhancements can lead to increased safety and performance in motorsports as well as all modes of commercial transportation.
