This new racing league is like F1…except these cars drive themselves 👀

It’s called the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL).

And they’re pioneering a brand new category of racing.

In the A2RL, each team is given the exact same car and basic software package.

But here’s the difference…

Instead of having teams modify their physical car, like in F1, each team’s focus is to write custom software to build an AI driver and race plan.

They’re not actually allowed to modify the car…only the AI brain that drives it.

To build these AI drivers, each car is equipped with dozens of high-powered sensors.

Radar, lidar, GPS and visual cameras.

Those sensors combine together to generate hundreds of gigabytes of raw data every single lap, which the teams use to adjust their AI driving strategy.

Now this league is only in its second year, but it’s already showing massive growth and interest among tech enthusiasts.

Specifically because of how well it’s stress testing autonomous technology.

Just like F1 car brands use learnings from their racecars to inform their commercial vehicles, the A2RL is doing the same thing for autonomous cars.

Because the truth is, this league is really a testing ground for cutting edge driverless technology.

The learnings, strategies, and techniques that work in the racecars, will be trickled down to autonomous vehicles all over the world.

If you want to watch on November 15th, the A2RL has a huge event with the top 11 teams competing for a $2.25M prize pool.
