𝗔 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲? 🏎️ Recently, our Head of Strategy and Performance, Daniel Fung, volunteered as a judge at the IMechE Formula Student AI competition. 🏆 "Formula Student (FS) is an educational engineering competition where university teams design, build, and compete with small-scale formula-style racing cars. It’s an excellent platform for students to apply their technical knowledge and showcase their creativity and engineering skills. It’s lots of fun and great to see young engineers passionate about the tech they’re developing!" explained Daniel. 👨🎓👩🎓 Formula Student AI (FS-AI) is a branch of the competition that focuses on autonomous vehicles. It challenges teams to develop and build the driving systems necessary to operate a fully autonomous car. The competition includes static events like "Design and Business Plan Presentation", and dynamic events such as "Acceleration, Skid Pad, and Sprint Track Drive", which are similar to the main FS competition but tailored for autonomous systems.
