aUToronto is an elite group of engineering students collaborating to make the future of autonomous vehicles a reality.
The team was formed to compete in the GM/SAE Autodrive challenge, a three-year competition between eight North American collegiate institutions to design and develop a level 4 autonomous car. As the only student organization at the university dedicated to developing this self-driving technology, aUToronto provides students with a unique foundation to join the frontrunners of the industry. By taking the challenges and complexities of the competition head-on, members of the team have every opportunity to develop technical and professional skills that will prove crucial upon graduation.
In September, aUToronto will begin work on a Chevrolet Bolt EV, donated by GM for the competition. By mid-April 2018, the team developed a system ready to compete in the first stage of the Autodrive challenge.
In 2021, the GM/SAE AutoDrive Challenge was renewed for the second round. The team started from the scratch, and successfully developed an advanced multi-modal perception sensor suite with all new sensors. In February 2023, the team received a second donation vehicle from the General Motors and have retrofitted it with the sensor suite to achieve autonomous capabilities for the Round 2 Year 2 competition.
