Berkeley MPC Lab has developed Iterative Learning Model Predictive Control (LMPC) forecasting to plan the vehicle trajectory looking a few seconds into the future. Here is a closed-loop trajectory (in black) after 5 laps of learning. The LMPC plans an open-loop trajectory (in red) to minimize lap time and land in the safety set (in blue).

The team will put LMPC to the test at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway!

Not always true. Depends on the product.

There is a lot of Indie Hackers who make more than a 100k a year on their products (check out indiehackers.com for case studies)
