Racing ahead with artificial intelligence

In 2014, ABB FIA Formula E became the world's first fully-electric, international, single-seater racing championship. It was as groundbreaking for the world of motorsport as the inception of car-to-pit telemetry in the 1980s. It's sitting in the Envision Virgin Racing garage, where Envision Virgin Racing, with professional services firm Genpact, is working to embed artificial intelligence (AI) into the team-. This partnership will turn data into insight, and transform the team's decision-making at high speed. It's no surprise then, that today's teams are inundated with data on everything from pre-race track conditions to detailed telemetry from sensors monitoring every major component and system in the car.
