Dr. Tom McCarthy, Executive Director of ASPIRE, wowed the crowd at the Etihad Museum’s season finale of the PechaKucha series, "From Falcons to Formula 1" sharing a glimpse into the future of autonomous racing. Dr. McCarthy highlighted Abu Dhabi’s strides in autonomous racing with A2RL’s AI-powered Dallara race cars and its mission to go beyond the conventional by pushing the limits of AI and revolutionize autonomous tech through extreme motorsports. His energy and insights made it an unforgettable event! Thank you Alserkal Advisory for inviting us!

They said it was a bold move to venture into autonomous racing; to pave the way for a new era in mobility. Little did they know, bold is what we do best. Catch the full story on CNN's #BoldPursuits.

It was an honor to participate in #MIITE and showcase the UAE's incredible talent and ingenuity to H.H. Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan and H.E. Dr. Sultan Al Jaber. Program Manager Amal Al Marri provided an insightful overview of A2RL and our project milestones, as we continue to drive the future of extreme autonomous racing directly from the UAE. #A2RL #ASPIREUAE #MakeItInTheEmirates #Innovation #Technology #Autonomous

Today, we’re revisiting A2RL's largest extreme autonomous race, where the final teams showcased their AI and coding skills at Yas Marina Circuit. They brought cutting-edge autonomous vehicle technology to life. The fans also enjoyed STEM finales and live entertainment, making it a memorable event that set the benchmark for future races. Which team's performance impressed you the most? #A2RL #ASPIREUAE #AutonomousRacing #Innovation ASPIRE

Looking back at one of our proudest moments from the A2RL race week, I’m reminded of the invaluable role 'client courage' plays in bringing bold ideas to life. More often than not, big ideas and activations proposed by agency partners stay confined within the strategy decks. Thankfully at AbuDhabi Autonomous Racing League, we don't settle for the ordinary. For our inaugural race, we got to craft the ultimate race invite, with our incredibly talented partners, setting a new standard in experiential marketing. This wasn’t your average swag bag- it was an immersive experience with cutting-edge AR, press booklet that wasn't your typical snooze-fest, a sweet display of each team's avatar, and a pair of Ray-Ban Meta sunglasses – perfect for experiencing the race weekend in style. ️ We're incredibly proud of everything we accomplished together, but this A2RL mystery box holds a special place in my heart. A huge thankyou to all who helped put this together and to influential creators like Toni Cowan-Brown, who helped spread our message far and wide. Your collective efforts have left an indelible mark on A2RL history, and for that, we are truly grateful. Here's to many more successful collaborations in the future! Lajos Pingiczer Jennifer Dewan, MCIPR - What an absolute pleasure it has been working alongside you both on this. Thank you both for inspiring and championing courage, commitment and creativity at work everyday.💜 #A2RL #Augmentedreality #fearlessinnovation #AI #dreamteam #ASPIREUAE Navigate Partners Bad Decisions Studio ANGELFIRE CREATIVE LIMITED

Equipped with seven 360-degree cameras and three Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing systems, the driver-free 'Feiying' car raced along the Yas Marina Circuit pushing the boundaries of extreme motorsport and autonomous racing. #TeamFlyEagle #A2RL #AbuDhabiAutonomousRacing #KhalifaUniversity #BeijingInstituteofTechnology #YasMarinaCircuit #ExtremeMotorsport #AutonomousRacing شارك فريق فلاي إيغل من جامعة خليفة، بالتعاون مع معهد بكين للتكنولوجيا، وتأهل في دوري أبوظبي للسباقات المستقلة الذي نظمته أسباير. وسجل الفريق بعد سباق حماسي عدد لفات صُنِّفت من بين الأفضل في الدوري، ونجح في التأهل إلى النهائيات من خلال استعراضه مهارات استثنائية في بناء سيارة ذاتية القيادة بأحدث التكنولوجيات. وتسابقت سيارة "فايّينغ" ذاتية القيادة، والمجهزة بسبع كاميرات تصور بزاوية 360 درجة وثلاثة أنظمة كشف الضوء وتحديد مداه عن بعد باستخدام جهاز الليدار، على امتداد حلبة مرسى ياس ليُحدث الفريق بذلك نقلة نوعية في عالم رياضة سباق سيارات محركات السرعات العالية والسباقات ذاتية القيادة. #فريق_فلاي_إيغل #أبوظبي #سباق_ذاتي_القيادة #جامعة_خليفة #معهد_بكين_للتكنولوجيا #حلبة_مرسى_ياس #سباقات_السيارات_السريعة

Post A2RL’s inaugural race, ASPIRE brought together several industry experts, partners that are industry players, and stakeholders at the WB hotel on Yas Island to discuss the future of autonomous technology. The conference highlighted crucial insights on advancements and challenges associated with the largest extreme autonomous race. #A2RL #ASPIREUAE #AutonomousRacing #Innovation ASPIRE

🏁 What an incredible experience being part of Team Fly Eagle at the inaugural AbuDhabi Autonomous Racing League. Our team, a collaboration between Khalifa University and the Beijing Institute of Technology, worked for two months to transform a Formula 1 car into a fully autonomous racing machine. 🚗💨 🌟 During this time, I had the opportunity to dive deep into the world of perception and localization for autonomous vehicles. It was fascinating to learn about the advanced sensors, algorithms, and techniques used to enable the car to perceive its surroundings and determine its precise location on the track. 📡🌐 💡 Participating in A2RL wasn't just about the thrill of the race; it was a chance to push the boundaries of autonomous technology, contribute to the future of transportation, and collaborate with inspiring team members. A big thank you to ASPIRE and the Technology Innovation Institute for hosting this groundbreaking event that will shape the future of autonomous vehicles and racing! 🤝💭🚀 #AutonomousRacing #TeamFlyEagle #KhalifaUniversity #Perception #Localization #Collaboration #Innovation

When I set out on this journey with Code19 Racing two months ago to my first ever Grand Prix at Yas Marina to take part in AbuDhabi Autonomous Racing League for the world's first-ever multi-vehicle autonomous racing, aiming solely for a podium finish, little did I know that this journey would unveil treasures far greater than just a trophy. 🎉 🏆 🎉 The experience has been nothing short of transformative. You know things are getting serious when you start seeing the turns in your head and can pinpoint the car's location just by the sound of those engines. 🏁 🏎 💨 Starting not quite up to speed with the veterans, our rookie team's fifth-place finish, despite the heartbreak from some tough crashes, really spoke volumes about our team's grit and spirit. Every knob turned and every command given was nerve-wracking, akin to pushing a critical update live without a safety net. All thanks to Oliver Wells and Lawrence Walter, the team principle, the sleepless nights were all worth it. Working alongside these incredible minds in the team, all seasoned with extensive experience, as a peer, was unmatched by any traditional workplace. Looking back, the podium was just one aspect of our goals. The true victory has been in the journey itself—the growth, the community, and the sheer joy of pursuing what we love. The cooperative spirit from the participating teams, made it more of an enriching voyage that sparked significant personal growth and drove us all to excel collectively. Kudos to Technical University of Munich, Unimore Racing, and Constructor University for making the podium, and to HUMDA Lab Nonprofit Ltd., PoliMOVE Autonomous Racing Team, Team Fly Eagle, and Team Kinetiz for being that extra boost. As we look ahead, I am excited for what the future holds for us at Code19 Racing and Maveric AI. Here's to pushing limits, achieving new heights, and continuing to grow together with every race! To Us! 🥂 Sam Bernardon Joshua Guerra Kelsie Edie Hassan Jardali Steven Kanzler Matt Flagg Priyal Sheth Abdullah Zaidi Christy Fernandez-Cull, PhD, MBA Aaron Soellinger Kenna Edwards Samantha Woodward Michael Tuttle Marvin Klemp #ai #adas #autonomousdriving #racing #motorsports #selfdrivingcars #robotics #yasmarina #a2rl #womeninmotorsportsna #WomenInTech
