Arrow Electronics and its partners have developed technology that could change the automotive industry. Engineers modified a car—a 2014 Corvette C7 Stingray—with integrated advanced electronics and a human-to-machine interface so a qualified quadriplegic driver can safely operate it on a race track. This is a semi-autonomous motorcar. We call it SAM.

Former IndyCar racer and quadriplegic Sam Schmidt drove the car during the 2014 Indianapolis 500 festivities. Schmidt was the first person with quadriplegia to drive a race car at speed using integrated advanced electronics. This video explains the technology that makes the #SAMracecar work.
