Minimalistic Autonomous Stack for High-Speed Time-Trial Racing

arXiv ·

This paper introduces a minimalistic autonomous racing stack designed for high-speed time-trial racing, emphasizing rapid deployment and efficient system integration with minimal on-track testing. Validated on real speedways, the stack achieved a top speed of 206 km/h within just 11 hours of practice, covering 325 km. The system performance analysis includes tracking accuracy, vehicle dynamics, and safety considerations. Why it matters: This research offers insights for teams aiming to quickly develop and deploy autonomous racing stacks with limited track access, potentially accelerating innovation in autonomous vehicle technology within the A2RL and similar racing initiatives.
