FIA Trials AI System to Enforce Track Limits in Formula One

The 'Computer Vision' technology aims to reduce manual reviews of potential infringements, tested at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

  • Formula One's governing body, the FIA, is testing an AI system called 'Computer Vision' to help enforce track limits during races.
  • The AI system will help reduce the workload for officials by identifying clear violations, where a car's wheels entirely cross the track's white boundary line.
  • The system was trialed at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
  • The FIA aims to reduce the number of potential infringements that officials manually review to around 50 per race.
  • Despite the AI's introduction, the FIA does not plan to fully automate reviews of track limits breaches for now, but sees real-time automated policing systems as the future.
