On April 27, the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League, also known as A2RL, will make history by having four autonomously driven racecars compete on track simultaneously for the first time. This $2.25 million Grand Challenge has brought together the best minds in coding, robotics, and race engineering to push the boundaries of autonomy in driving. The event will take place at the Yas Marina Circuit with eight teams, including Code 19 Racing from the United States, competing using Dallara SF23 cars from the Super Formula Series in Japan. The cars are maintained by independent mechanics, and teams compete based on developing effective code derived from AI learning. Racing will involve qualifying, one-on-one races, and a multi-lap final, with an ‘AI vs. Human’ race featuring ex-F1 driver Daniil Kvyat against an autonomous car. The goal of the race series is not to replace human drivers but to promote primary safety technology and encourage acceptance of AI in driving. Code 19 Racing, led by Lawrence Walter, is the first professional team in the competition.
