Deep Orange 12

For its 12th project, Deep Orange will partner with the Indy Autonomous Challenge to produce a driverless open-wheel racecar that will be used by university-based student teams participating in the competition’s final rounds. Through this concept, the DO12 vehicle will serve as a highly visible platform to bring industry and students together to explore and develop innovative solutions around the future of autonomous mobility.

Deep Orange 12 students will convert an existing open-wheel ‘Indy Lights’ racecar to a driverless configuration that allows for head-to-head competition between multiple vehicles during the Indy Autonomous Challenge. This integrated hardware and software framework will be used by university teams around the world to develop fully-functional autonomous vehicle algorithms. These university teams will then race each other at high speeds at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a $1M grand prize on October 23, 2021.

If you are from a participating team, we look forward to working with you! Look for communications and kickoff information begin in mid-January.
