SAE International Partners with d’Vinci to Put Students Behind the Wheel

---

As part of its Computerized Driver Challenge curriculum, SAE International worked with d’Vinci Interactive to create the online game, Autonomous Expedition.

Students take a thrilling journey where they guide a Motorized Autonomous Response Vehicle (MARV) through a simulated cityscape. To operate as an autonomous taxi, MARV must learn the complexities of driving without human help. Equipped with advanced technology systems and machine learning, each attempt to safely navigate a traffic challenge is an opportunity to collect and interpret new data. This information programs MARV with the skills needed to predict and respond to any scenario.

The game shows middle school students how MARV “sees” the world with sonar/sensor devices and how it learns with artificial intelligence. The game graphics simulate response stimuli through sensor indicators and icons that appear on the screen.

Autonomous Expedition can be a standalone learning opportunity or complement any lesson related to Artificial Intelligence.
