Today we're joined by Madhur Behl, an assistant professor in the department of computer science at the University of Virginia.
In our conversation with Madhur, we explore the super interesting work he's doing at the intersection of autonomous driving, ML/AI, and Motorsports, where he's teaching self-driving cars how to drive in an agile manner. We talk through the differences between traditional self-driving problems and those encountered in a racing environment, the challenges in solving planning, perception, control. We also discuss their upcoming race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where Madhur and his students will compete for 1 million dollars in the world's first head-to-head fully autonomous race, and how they're preparing for it.
