Formula E has announced a new multi-year partnership with Google Cloud to enhance both on- and off-track development of the championship. The partnership builds on the existing deal initiated last year with Jake Hughes breaking the indoor speed record in Formula E’s GENBETA car. Google Cloud-developed AI called “DriverBot” utilized real-time and historical race data to optimize performance, resulting in beating the existing speed record by over 50 km/h. Google Cloud expressed excitement in bringing cloud technologies to electric racing to drive innovation both on and off the track. Formula E and Google plan to leverage AI and Cloud technologies for sporting development, sustainability, and fan engagement to establish Formula E as the most innovative and exciting motorsport. “Our collaboration began with setting a world record, and we are very ambitious about what comes next,” said Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds. The championship continues with Round 4 in Sao Paulo this Saturday in the 2023-24 Formula E season.
