…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 that time.…
