• Albi & Stephen: not a particular topic to discuss, just here to observe the new technologies and software
• David: Autoware backed scaled racing (include all kinds of racers), nothing planned at this point. Start small and go big (Maybe discuss the topic in the next racing work group meeting when there are more people).
  • A good example is Autonomous XRAY T4 - Research project by Mustafa Alp (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIEbbcVsoLo)
  • Quarterly outdoor racing (also can be driven at much higher speed and better control)
  • Regular indoor racing
  • Virtual race in simulation
  • Potential rollback with IAC
• F1Tenth league has lifted up the restrictions for on-board computers.
