The FIA confirmed at Friday's World Motor Sport Council meeting that the new device, mandatory on all Rally1 hybrid cars next year, will take the form of a forward facing in-car camera. A statement issued by the FIA, which also confirmed the 2022 calendar, revealed that the camera will have the ability to scan the stage for hazards and can be used to analyse the position of spectators. Spectator safety has been an ongoing issue in rallying and a number of stages have been cancelled this season due to fans standing in dangerous locations. However, moves to improve spectator safety through technical devices have been in the pipeline for a while. Exactly how the device works and will be utilised is yet to be explained by the FIA and WRC. "Starting from 2022, the FIA Artificial Intelligence Safety Camera (AISC) will become mandatory in all Rally1 cars," read a statement from the FIA.
