Maserati MC20 Coupe broke a new speed record without anyone in the driver’s seat. The autonomous car, which reached a speed of 318 km/h during an automotive event in Kennedy Space Center last week, managed to break the speed record for autonomous vehicles.

Maserati used the autonomous driving software developed by PoliteCnico Di Milano, Italy’s largest scientific and technological university. This team recently worked with Indy Autonomous Challenge, who joined Las Vegas Motor Speedway in CES 2025.

Autonomous Maserati MC20 Coupe exhibited its incredible speed on the 4.5 -kilometer track, and in April 2022, the record obtained by Indy Autonomous Challenge and Polymove was passed.

The only reason that this success is remarkable is not that an autonomous vehicle has gone faster than another autonomous vehicle. Races examine how algorithms that support the autonomous driving system manage high speeds and work as a stress test for their reliability. The team is constantly pushing the boundaries and reaching findings that will increase the security of autonomous vehicles working on local roads.

“This world speed records are much more than the exhibition of the technology of the future technology, Pa said Paul Mitchell, CEO of Indy Autonomous Challenge and Aidoptation BV CEO and continued:“ We carry artificial intelligence driver software and robotic equipment to the absolute border. It helps to do this with a road vehicle and to transfer autonomous racing education to ensure that it is possible to make safe, sustainable, high -speed autonomous mobility on highways. ”
