All members are very excited to make improvements and program the cars to perform best to qualify for the finals in Europe in May 2024.

"Bosch Future Mobility Challenge is an international technical competition initiated by Bosch Engineering Center Cluj in 2017. The competition invites student teams every year to develop autonomous driving and connectivity algorithms on 1/10 scale vehicles, provided by the company, to navigate in a designated environment simulating a miniature smart city. The students work on their projects in collaboration with Bosch experts and academic professors for several months to develop the best-performing algorithms. For the finals, the best teams are selected, and the top ones will be awarded with great prizes."
