Real adventure with driverless racing...More than deft moves you require smart algorithms and AI for success!
Roborace is the world’s first driverless racing championship
November 30th, 2015
Formula E and Kinetik announced a partnership with the intention to launch a global race series for driverless electric cars. This new championship called ‘ROBORACE’ will provide a competitive platform for the autonomous driving solutions that are now being developed by many large industrial automotive and technology players as well as top tech universities.
The series will feature 10 teams racing with two driverless cars. Although the cars will look identical, the teams will compete “using real-time computing algorithms and AI technologies.”
The stated mission of the new series is to demonstrate that autonomous driving technology “is already here, and can even work in extreme conditions. Roborace believes there is a lot of independent talent in the world that might contribute to this initiative.”
One of the 10 team slots will be taken by a crowd-sourced and community-funded team, and will take applications from software developers and technology experts worldwide.
Denis Sverdlov, Founder of Kinetik and ROBORACE, said: “We passionately believe that, in the future, all of the world’s vehicles will be assisted by AI and powered by electricity, thus improving the environment and road safety. ROBORACE is a celebration of revolutionary technology and innovation that humanity has achieved in that area so far. It’s a global platform to show that robotic technologies and AI can co-exist with us in real life. Thus, anyone who is at the edge of this transformation now has a platform to show the advantages of their driverless solutions and this shall push the development of the technology.”
CEO of Formula E Alejandro Agag said: “Roborace is an open challenge to the most innovative scientific and technology-focused companies in the world. It is very exciting to create a platform for them to showcase what they are capable of, and I believe there is great potential for us to unearth the next big idea through the unique crowd-sourced contest.”
More information on the teams and techologies will be revealed early next year.
The 2015-16 season of the FIA Formula E Championship began in Beijing in October, with the next round due to take place in Uruguay on 19 December. If the 2016-17 season follows the same calendar as the current one, cities such as Berlin, Paris, Moscow and London will host races.
