• TII’s autonomous drones outperforms human pilots
• TII’s autonomous drones hit a top speed of 22.3 m/s (80 km/h), without prior localization, or residuals, with no external localization, and no external localization during training
• Top speeds were achieved with the added complexity of a curved split S shaped track
