Dane za rok 2023 pokazują, że globalne przychody branży mody osiągnęły 1,7 biliona dolarów, co stanowi 2% światowego PKB. Pomimo ciągłego wzrostu, sektor ten boryka się z nowymi i trudnymi wyzwaniami. Najnowszy raport Boston Consulting Group i Vogue Polska analizuje najbardziej kontrowersyjne trendy i problemy, które kształtują przyszłość mody.
ASPIRE, the innovation acceleration arm of Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), has officially launched the second season of the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL), with a confirmed race day set for 26 April 2025, at Yas Marina Circuit.
The A2RL returns with an even broader global reach, welcoming new teams from the USA, France, Japan, and the UAE.
The competition will showcase AI technology as coders and engineers race to push the limits of autonomous technology.
Competitors will race for a share of the impressive US$ 2.25 million prize pool, with the competition featuring an upgraded Dallara built Super Formula Emirates Autonomous Vehicle (EAV24) designed to push the boundaries of AI in motorsport.

The A2RL is excited to announce the expansion of its global roster with the addition of four new teams: AiPEX Racing from the US, Aladin Innovation from France, SEVRUS Japan (TGM Grand Prix) from Japan, and a team from the UAE’s Technology Innovation Institute (TII). These new entrants will join the original teams from Season 1 in a rigorous simulation phase in November to finalize the complete team roster. Following the simulation challenge, the race format for the upcoming season will be revealed.During the simulation phase, teams will demonstrate their race car control in difficult conditions, such as GPS failures and sensor malfunctions, and must meet quality gateways to show their overtaking skills. They will also need to showcase tire and brake warming strategies, perform hot laps, and race against virtual opponents. Only teams that meet these high standards will qualify for the final competition.
The competition will feature top engineers and programmers from around the world, all using artificial intelligence (AI) to program self-driving race cars. This league is becoming a global AI sport, highlighting innovation and high-speed competition.
“A2RL is more than just a race; it’s a critical platform for showcasing the power of AI-driven solutions and their potential to transform entire industries. By pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with autonomous technology, we are accelerating innovation across sectors and positioning the UAE as a leader in the global AI landscape.”
“The second season of A2RL is set to be even more exhilarating, with new teams pushing the limits of AI integration in motorsport. Our upgraded race car, designed with next-gen autonomous tech, will challenge teams to take their coding and engineering to new heights. This league is more than just a competition-it’s a glimpse into the future of AI-driven sports.”
Faisal Al Bannai, Adviser to the UAE President and Secretary General of the Advanced Technology Research Council, emphasized the global impact of A2RL, stating:
Stephane Timpano, CEO of ASPIRE, also commented that
At GITEX Global, Dubai’s premier technology event, attendees got a first look at the upgraded EAV24, A2RL’s next-generation autonomous race car. This model has body panels made from sustainable bio-composite materials and a sleek design inspired by digital algorithms and AI-driven data patterns, highlighting the event’s focus on AI innovation. The EAV24 will be the center of the competition, where teams will compete to develop AI systems that can outsmart and outperform their rivals on the track.
Following a successful inaugural season that drew in over 10,000 live spectators at Yas Marina Circuit and over 1 million online viewers, the second season of A2RL aims to further solidify its position as a leader in the intersection of motorsport and AI technology.
The mission of A2RL goes beyond just racing. It aims to speed up the advancement of autonomous systems across different platforms and to build public confidence in the safety and reliability of this new technology. In addition to car racing, the league also includes other innovative competitions, such as autonomous drone racing and autonomous buggies, which provide opportunities to test and improve technologies in various environments. This competition provides OEMs and automakers with a safe space to explore and develop autonomous innovations, leading to advancements that will eventually affect the broader mobility sector.
