Kinetiz wins Europe's first autonomous multi-car race at Imola circuit

The Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League held its inaugural European multi-car race at the Imola circuit in Italy. Five teams from Germany, Italy, and the United Arab Emirates competed in a 12-lap event featuring fully autonomous SF23 single-seater cars. Kinetiz of the UAE finished the race in first place. The vehicles operated without steering wheels or drivers, relying on onboard computers and sensor arrays to navigate the track at high speeds. Organizers emphasized that the event serves to test AI capabilities in risky, high-speed scenarios while attempting to build public trust in autonomous technology. Engineers monitored telemetry data throughout the competition, though they were unable to intervene once the race commenced.
