The NxGV Challenge 2026: Driverless Category brings autonomous driving concepts to life through an engaging and hands-on mini car challenge.
Designed specifically for participants in the Driverless Vehicle (DV) category, the challenge introduces participants to the fundamentals of Autonomous Vehicle (AV) technology through a simulated real-world driving environment.
Participants will navigate a miniature driving course featuring various road conditions and scenarios, including road junctions, traffic lights, tunnels and other driving situations. Through this practical experience, participants can apply their knowledge, enhance their problem-solving abilities, and develop valuable skills in autonomous driving technology.
