The Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL) is set to revolutionize the world of motorsport with its groundbreaking autonomous racing series. The first event will kick off on April 27 at Yas Marina Abu Dhabi Grand Prix venue, featuring eight teams competing for a prize pot of $2.25 million. The cutting-edge technology behind A2RL involves Dallara-built Super Formula SF23 cars, known for their speed and precision, fitted with an autonomous software ‘autonomous stack’ that controls sensors, actuators, and sustainable bio-composite materials. CEO Stephane Timpano highlights the extensive modifications done to the SF23 racecars, which include a drive-by-wire system, advanced sensor technologies, and a powerful Neousys RGS-8805GC computer system. With replicated human inputs and a challenging coding task for the teams, A2RL will not only test the boundaries of AI technology but also serve as a platform to showcase the potential of autonomous vehicles in ensuring road safety. Fans can catch all the action of the inaugural A2RL event on The Race’s YouTube channel and stay updated on A2RL’s social platforms for more details.
