Featured In the February 2024 issue of Roadracing World:
MotoGP is in the grip of a secret hi-tech revolution. Not downforce aerodynamics or ride-height adjusters, because we can see the aerodynamics and see racebikes change shape as they exit corners.
This revolution is secret because it’s mostly invisible. It’s taking place on servers and data clouds accessed in the garages of MotoGP teams and in motorcycle manufacturer race departments.
The revolution is artificial intelligence and its close relations computer simulations, neural networks, machine learning, and geometric deep learning.
What do these strange things do? And why now? They crunch the numbers and think better, faster, and more originally than humans. And it’s only really happening now thanks to developments which allow the vast amount of data required to be captured, analyzed, and acted upon incredibly quickly. (MotoGP bikes now record data via around 500 channels from engine, chassis, and ECU.)
“Inside MotoGP’s AI Revolution,” by MotoGP Editor Mat Oxley
Will artificial intelligence kill us all? Or will it save us? We don’t know yet. What we do know is that it’s an incredibly powerful technology that’s transforming motorcycle racing. MotoGP Editor Mat Oxley details what is happening in the virtual garages of top-level teams in the latest issue of Roadracing World!
