Roborace Explained: Artificial Intelligence Meets Racing

• http://insideevs.com, by Motorsport.com

Today, Roborace has built three Devbot development cars and soon hopes to have three Robocars available. The company aims to build a platform to showcase autonomous technology and where it can advance.

It takes a similar approach as Formula E currently does with electric formula cars, where road relevant technology is being developed. But the two championships differ from each other in approach. At Roborace, the development of software will be key while in Formula E some modifications to the hardware can be made.

"Roborace is the future of connected and autonomous technology which is coming into the road cars in three, five or ten years' time, depending on the horizons," explained Bryn Balcombe, chief technical officer at Roborace, to Motorsport.com.

"We are using motorsports as an acceleration of all that technology. Which is what motorsports has been in the past and to some extent is now. We are developing road relevant technology."
