Description

Participants are provided with a simplistic simulated autonomous driving platform and tasked with writing some basic python code to drive their vehicle around the track! It’s a fun and competitive event and previous participants have all enjoyed it so far (the event was first held amongst Trinity students in 2024). It’s a good way to get people thinking and talking about multi-agent autonomous driving, albeit in a constrained environment with rudimentary sensor data. It’s also a great way of engaging with python programming in a fun and interactive way.
