The history of Formula E's race cars: GEN1-2-3 to GEN3 Evo and GEN4
GEN 4 X Google Cloud integration
In a demonstration of edge-computing potential, Dan Ticktum will pilot the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship GEN4 race car to test a revolutionary hybrid AI architecture built by Google Cloud. Serving as a high-speed engineering proof of concept for extreme industrial environments, the system delivers instantaneous, split-second driver coaching. By processing live telemetry, video, and audio feeds entirely on-device via a Google Pixel 10 Pro, the test marks a critical milestone in proving that next-generation consumer hardware can successfully manage data-heavy, mission-critical operations under the most demanding conditions.
Beyond the headline runs on the track, Formula E's world-class manufacturers and teams including Jaguar TCS Racing, Mahindra Racing, DS AUTOMOBILES, are turning up in a significant way, seamlessly integrating cutting-edge Formula E programmes within their activities across the motorsport festival, demonstrating how the world's leading car brands are leveraging elite electric motorsport as the ultimate driving force for future innovation.
