PoliMOVE Team will compete in the Season ONE of Roborace.
The Roborace is a motor racing championship, with electrically powered self-driving cars.
The series will take place on the same tracks and with retrofitted Formula E cars and will be the first world car championship without a human driver. The calendar of the world championship will be identical to that of Formula E and will consist of ten teams, each with two self-driving cars, who will compete in one-hour races on the various tracks of the world championship. All teams will have the same cars, but will develop their own real-time calculation algorithms and artificial intelligence technologies. (Source Wikipedia)
