In 2019, the founders of the AI Racing Tech team put together an application to compete in the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC). The IAC is a high-speed, head-to-head autonomous vehicle race that attracts universities from around the world to famed raceways to inspire and challenge the next generation of automotive and robotics innovators. The AI Racing Tech team finished 6th in the IAC hack-a-thon "fast lap" competition and 10th overall out of 40 teams, securing a spot to be one of 10 teams  competing in  first Indy Autonomous Challenge in October 2021. AI Racing Tech would move on to place 6th overall in this first ever Indy Autonomous "Fast Lap" challenge.  

Ai Racing Tech furthered the team's autonomous stack during CES 2022, showing flawless overtaking maneuvers. As this competition was a significantly greater challenge, the team joined forces, and the UH-Manoa Robotics Lab, UC Berkeley ROAR, Triton-AI UC San Diego, and Carnegie Mellon University together comprised the new AI Racing Tech team.
