Cover Story: The importance of autonomous driving technologies has been growing rapidly in recent years due to the increasing evidence of improved road safety. Autonomous electric racing vehicles push these technologies to their performance limits. This paper shows how to control an autonomous electric racing vehicle, in the context of the full-sized Formula Student Driverless racing competition. The researchers used a terminal component learning-based model predictive control architecture capable of learning from past trajectories. One major problem in autonomous racing is the difficulty in obtaining accurate vehicle models that cover the entire performance envelope. To address this problem, the team uses offline and online measurements to train a Gaussian Process Regression machine learning model for the online adaptation of the vehicle model. View this paper
