Description[]
The Robocar was an autonomous race car constructed by Arrival for use in the Roborace competition. Styled by Daniel Simon, the Robocar was the world's first purpose-built autonomous race car. Shaped like a teardrop, the car is powered by a 540kW battery powering four electric motors generating 550 horsepower, with the internal computing processor being an Nvidia Drive PX 2; navigation is performed using a series of radars, lidars and ultrasonic sensors. The Robocar was only intended for demonstration purposes and would be further developed into the DevBot 1.0 and DevBot 2.0, the latter of which was used in the actual racing series. The Roborace competition was discontinued in 2022, with Arrival stating they hoped to find alternative funding.
