Published on Aug 22, 2016

Roborace unveils “DevBot” — an intelligent, robotic, driverless, electric development car.

The primary purpose of the DevBot is to allow teams to develop their software and experience the hardware that will be used on the “Robocar”.

Unlike the Robocar the DevBot has a cabin that can be driven by a human or a computer allowing teams to fully understand how the car thinks and feels on a racetrack alongside the comprehensive real-time data.

The DevBot is equipped with the same drivetrain, sensors, computation systems and communication technology as the Robocar designed by Daniel Simon which will be revealed later this year in 2016.
