Why Abu Dhabi is launching an ambitious new autonomous racing series

Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League will establish a series of high-profile driverless races at the UAE’s Yas Marina Formula 1 track using cars from Japan’s premier open-wheel series, Super Formula, which can travel at over 185mph. The first event is scheduled for 27 April and has been designed to showcase the remarkable pace of autonomous driving by bringing together the world’s best computer scientists, coders, and developers in competition.

Once the car fires up, it’s on its own – nobody can interfere with it. “The only outside control, either by the team or race control, is the stop instruction on safety grounds. The car must complete tasks on the track, like overtaking another car, by itself. “We’re going to be putting cars out together and asking them to do autonomous things, we’re inviting the public in to see what happens. We believe that can lead to acceptance about what is really possible.
