Who We Are
Founded in 2016 as the University of Toronto’s only student-led self-driving car team, we believe that the momentous task of autonomous driving is accomplishable when approached with a team of young and innovative engineers. Ten years later with many competition wins under our belt, we’re leveraging our experience towards an ambitious new goal: driving autonomously from our test track at UTIAS to our Downtown Toronto meeting spot, Myhal.
“We’re taking our hands off the wheel. Are you ready to join us?”
Our Mission
Our goal is to continue building a highly capable autonomous vehicle. The team has developed a sophisticated multi-modal perception system and autonomy stack, fully integrated onto the Chevrolet Bolt EUV, allowing us to traverse complicated roadways while following traffic laws and reacting to other vehicles and pedestrians. This year, we're undergoing a massive upgrade to support our autonomous drive from UTIAS to Myhal.

About SAE/GM AutoDrive Challenge
The Autodrive Challenge is a General Motors & SAE (the Society of Automotive Engineers) sponsored competition in which student teams are challenged to build an autonomous passenger vehicle capable of navigating complex urban driving environments. The challenge as a whole takes place in two rounds, each spanning four years, with a competition each year featuring tasks which incrementally increase in difficulty.
We are YOUR Team
At it’s heart, aUToronto celebrates the diversity of all team members and endeavors to foster an inclusive workplace environment for all students regardless of our differences. aUToronto strives to create a work culture that is respectful, collaborative and encourages a strong sense of belonging. When we welcome you to aUToronto, we welcome you to your second home.
