The Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL) is scheduled to take place on April 28th, 2024. The race will feature 10 teams from international universities and research groups competing with AI-piloted versions of the Super Formula SF23. The prize pool for the event is up to $2.25 million. A2RL plans to allow several driverless cars to compete simultaneously, pushing the technological boundaries of autonomous racing. The cars will be equipped with cameras, GPS, radar, LiDAR sensors, and AI technology to pilot the vehicles. The focus of the race is on the technology, programming, and machine learning algorithms rather than driver skill. The A2RL aims to serve as a platform for research and development of autonomous vehicle technology and to stress-test capabilities for safety on the racetracks and roads.
