Closing date and time 2026/05/05 12:00 EDT


    Description
    The University of Calgary intends to purchase a Long Range (50KM) All-Wheel Drive Tesla Y. This vehicle was selected due to its commercially available platform, featuring hardware 4 (AI4) which delivers 50 Trillions of Operations per Second (TOPS) of dedicated neural network inference. This allows the vehicle to process 360-degree vision data and execute autonomous maneuvers in real-time urban scenarios, such as intersection public road scenarios without pre-existing HD maps, unprotected left turns and multi-lane roundabouts. This is an important requirement for the research project. Additional details are included in the ACAN.
