2024 American Control Conference Self-Driving Car Student Competition

We welcome all engineering faculty to encourage their students to participate in the Self-Driving Car Student Competition during the American Control Conference in Toronto, July 10 – 12, 2024.

The competition provides an excellent opportunity for students from around the globe to acquire leading-edge knowledge and develop critical problem-solving skills while also attracting and nurturing next-gen researchers.

The organizing committee has configured the self-driving challenge to highlight critical Control Systems concepts that will focus on real-time decisions feedback control systems that will result in faster and more precise driving performance. The tasks include but are not limited to:

• Time to complete the path (circuit)
• Accuracy of driving
• Timely reactions to stop signs and traffic lights
• Avoidance of obstacles
