System and method for optimising performance of an autonomous race car

A system for optimizing a performance of an autonomous vehicle in real-time, the system comprising:

• a controller unit of the autonomous vehicle;
• a set of sensors communicatively coupled to the controller unit, the set of sensors configured for measuring a first set of real-time parameter values and a second set of real-time parameter values during a drive of the autonomous vehicle;
• and
• a performance optimization module configured to:
• receive, from the set of sensors, the first set of real-time parameter values and the second set of real-time parameter values;
• identify instability of the autonomous vehicle in response to detecting, using an optimization algorithm, one or more errors between a control command given by the controller unit to the autonomous vehicle and an execution of the control command by the autonomous vehicle based on the first set of real-time parameter values and the second set of real-time parameter values;
• generate, by the optimization algorithm, additional information associated with the autonomous vehicle and an environment in which the autonomous vehicle is driving based on the one or more errors;
• generate a corrective course of action for reducing a duration needed to drive a given route by the autonomous vehicle;
• and
• feed back the additional information and the corrective course of action to the controller unit for execution.
