Some people won't like what follows but hey you won't make omelets without braking eggs...

SAE created the FSAE many years ago. Then many other competitions were also organized with more or less success - most often more. Formula Student Germany created Formula Student Electric and other organization followed. SAE became a follower.

Now Germany and, I think, China do organize an autonomous Formula Student competition, which does make perfect sense as it where the automotive industry is going.

How come this competition "Removing bumps on the path to fully automated driving"

is not integrate in a series of international competition that counts close to 1000 universities in the world?

In the interest of the students as well as and the US and global automotive industry what does it take for SAE for make FSAE great again?
