Maserati has set a new benchmark in autonomous or self-driving vehicle performance, announcing that a modified MC20 has reached a staggering speed of 197.7 mph. This achievement surpasses the previous record by 4.9 mph and was accomplished at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, on one of the world’s longest runways.

The autonomous MC20, enhanced with cutting-edge artificial intelligence, had already secured the title of the fastest autonomous production car at 177 mph in November. Maserati highlighted that this milestone is part of its broader initiative to enhance autonomous driving safety at high speeds on highways.

According to Paul Mitchell, CEO of the Indy Autonomous Challenge, this breakthrough is not just about setting records but about pushing the boundaries of AI-driven software and robotics. He emphasized that testing these advancements in a road-ready vehicle is a crucial step in transferring autonomous racing technology to real-world highway applications, ensuring safe and efficient high-speed mobility.

While the fastest human-driven car remains the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport at 304.7 mph, and the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is projected to reach 330 mph, achieving such speeds autonomously presents unique challenges. Supercars typically max out around 200 mph, as reaching 300 mph requires exponentially greater engineering and testing resources. Due to these complexities, long runways like those at airports have become prime testing grounds for high-speed vehicles.

The autonomous speed record will likely continue to be challenged, but Maserati’s accomplishment signals a future where AI-driven vehicles could rival the speeds of their human-operated counterparts.
