Zapata AI and Andretti INDYCAR Gear Up to Apply Industrial Generative AI to Race Day Strategy and Analytics in 2024
Zapata AI Sense™ and generative AI engineering innovation are key elements to the companies’ efforts for Andretti to win more races in their third NTT INDYCAR SERIES season together
The focal point of their work together this season is applying Zapata AI’s Industrial Generative AI solutions and expertise to give the Andretti INDYCAR team a competitive advantage in pursuit of winning races. Working trackside, in the Race Analytics Command Center mobile engineering unit, and virtually from their different locations, the engineering and competition teams plan to use Zapata AI Sense – running on the Company’s Orquestra® platform – and other tooling to build an improved technology stack for specific use cases, including race strategy and data signal generation.
“As we head into our third season working with Zapata AI on our INDYCAR program, we’re eager to continue using their expertise to fine-tune the performance on race weekends,” said
Highlights from the 2023 season include:
- Virtual Sensors: The teams leveraged generative AI to generate real-time, accurate data for a key race variable that would not have been measurable with physical sensors otherwise.
- Decision-making: Implementation of Zapata AI’s IndustrialGenerative AI solutions was one of the key enabling technologies for fast predictions to support decision-making using livestream and historic data.
- Data infrastructure integration and enhancement: The Zapata AI and Andretti teams explored novel, data-driven opportunities in these areas.
- Analytic and predictive capabilities (on and off the race track): These capabilities were enhanced with innovations in database integration, DevOps tools for live data processing and monitoring, and generative and general AI model integration. All of this was enabled by on premise edge computing and adapted to Andretti's particular needs to stay competitive and push the envelope in multiple car racing circuits worldwide.
“We are excited to keep learning from Andretti and continue our joint, tangible progress on resolving the technology challenges we face,” commented
“The Zapata AI team has been an outstanding partner in upgrading our race strategy infrastructure to leverage the latest tools for analytics, data streaming, and generative AI,” said
Looking ahead to the 2024 season kicking off with the Firestone Grand Prix of
- Streaming data and machine learning applications: real-time analytics based on live streaming data can streamline decision-making processes and provide insights that can be immediately acted upon, potentially offering a competitive edge
- Predictive capabilities for lap times, yellow flag occurrences and tire degradation
- Improved virtual sensor simulation with generative AI, with inclusion of more track-related and other static features
- Inclusion of data and model performance monitoring tools for live stream monitoring capabilities.
