The Story Collider, a popular STEM stories podcast, reminds us in its latest episode, “Sometimes things don’t go well the first time… or the second… or even the hundredth time.”
But what about when things fly apart completely?
Madhur Behl, an associate professor in the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science, shares the inspirational journey of the Cavalier Autonomous Racing team, for which he serves as principal.
Behl, an expert in computers science and systems and information engineering, is a researcher advancing the frontier of safe autonomous systems through racing competition. For his team of students, the mission is to build upon each year’s technological successes to have an ever more competitive “self-driving” racecar.
