…go in and see the data, and you have Cisco routers, Zebra dashboards, but it's just so overwhelming. Devices are generating anywhere from 1 million to 2 million signals a second, so there's no point in showing people all that information. It's not insightful. But we do forecasted maintenance, for example. We also look at past trends. We know what your lull periods are and where you have excess capacity. And that's when it sends the robots for charging and maintenance activities. Because again, it's not about reading the weather, it's what you do with all the data. Industries and…

…drive-by-wire system. It also has wireless communication technology from Cisco that allows the vehicles to communicate with each other and with race control. All in all, these vehicles are about over a million dollars in terms of hardware and software and technology. Does the university raise funds through sponsorship to attain the car and all required accessories? Mitchell: Much of the hardware and software on the car is provided through sponsorships, fitting the autonomous challenge secures from industry leaders like Schaeffler, Bridgestone, Cisco and AWS. Luminar provides our lidars and then the teams had to pay $300,000 to acquire the…

…from leading research universities. Sponsors include big companies like Cisco and Luminar. Public policy is a helpful background. How is today's race different from October's race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS)? Mitchell: Teams must still be able to demonstrate their capabilities, but it's a smaller in-person crowd. It's open to CES attendees but scaled back due to COVID-19. Going back to the IMS, we showcased where the 19 teams were in their journey toward eventual head-to-head racing. Based on a variety of conditions, like weather, we didn't feel that putting multiple cars on track was a safe bet at…
