<h1>Abstract:</h1><p><a href="https://roborace.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Roborace</a> is the world&#x27;s first competition for human and AI teams, using both self-driving and manually-controlled cars. Race formats will feature new forms of immersive entertainment to engage the next generation of racing fans. Through sport, innovations in machine-driven technologies will be accelerated.  </p><p>Robocar, a fully autonomous vehicle, showcased its capability at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed when it became the first autonomous race car to complete the famous hill climb. </p><p>In 2019, Roborace launched its inaugural Season Alpha utilizing the new DevBot 2.0, a newly developed car capable of being driven by both human and AI driver. Pitting university teams and tech leaders in competitions across Europe, it pushed ADS to new levels as it navigated circuits, hillclimbs and localization challenges. The DevBot 2.0 also achieved two world firsts: the first AI driver overtake in Circuito Monteblanco, and formally set the autonomous hillclimb record at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.  </p><p>In addition to Season Alpha, another record achievement- The Guinness Book of World Records for the fastest autonomous car, set by Robocar at 282.42 KPH/175.49 MPH on March 21, 2019.</p>
