Design Highlights

Built on proven electric hardware

Rather than designing a new chassis each year, the driverless branch re-engineers a previous-generation DRe car with autonomy hardware and an emergency brake system — reducing risk while focusing engineering effort on perception, planning and control.

Full autonomy stack

Perception, localization, path planning and low-level control are all developed in-house by the driverless team. The vehicle runs known track layouts without a driver, constrained by the FSAC competition envelope.

Competes at FSAC

The Formula Student Autonomous China (FSAC) competition is the driverless branch's primary event — a complementary series to the electric team's FSEC and FSAEJ campaigns.
