The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) has announced that after making history at CES 2022 with the world’s first-ever, head-to-head autonomous race car competition, that the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) will return to CES 2023.

The Autonomous Challenge @ CES will take place at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday, January 7, 2023. The event will be limited to CES attendees, and transportation will be available from the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Collaborating with partners like AWS, Cisco, Continental, Dallara, dSPACE, and Luminar, the primary goal of the IAC is to solve real-world problems by advancing technology that will speed the commercialization of fully autonomous vehicles and deployments of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).

The IAC is a prize competition designed to engage university teams from around the world to program autonomous-modified race cars and compete in a series of competitions. Based in Indiana, the IAC is working to establish a hub for performance automation in the state and is harnessing the power of prize competitions to attract the best and brightest minds from around the globe to further the state-of-the-art technology in safety and performance of automated vehicles.
