How do you race AI-powered cars? 🏎️

This week I visited took a behind the scenes look into to learn all about how they’re turning autonomous technology into a competitive sport. 🤖

Teams from all over the world can compete to train and develop the best self-driving software system that can race around a circuit at speeds up to 300km/h. 🤯

This week they’re running the first race in their 3rd year of the series, with the cars now completing laps within a few seconds of what a human driver is able to accomplish in the same car!

AI hardware moves fast, and it’s because of labs like this! 🔬

I recently visited one of Meta’s infrastructure labs at their HQ in Menlo Park to learn all about the hardware design and development process for their data centers! 🤫

When operating at a global scale, you sometimes have to build your own components, and that’s exactly what this infrastructure lab here does.

I’ve posted a longer video from my visit to this lab on my YouTube channel, so if you enjoyed this short, you should definitely check that out! 📺

Ever wondered how Disney, Hulu, Netflix and any of the other streaming services work instantly?

The use CDN’s, or Content Delivery Networks, to store content locally to where it’s needed.

This means that the video you’re streaming doesn’t need to travel thousands of miles through subsea cables every time someone in another country wants to watch the content!

This makes the user experience much smoother, but also prevents bottlenecks!

Subsea cables aren’t under any strain, but if CDNs didn’t exist at all, they very well could be.

Cloud computing providers also often charge for data transfer between regions, so it would be extremely inefficient to send the same video content multiple times when you could just send it once!

If you thought drone technology was dead, you need to read this post. 👀

(Not sponsored, I just love the tech) ⚡️

This drone company helps to solve a problem that costs the UK’s Network Rail millions of pounds every year! 💰

But can you get what the problem is? 🤔

Trespassing. Every time a person is spotted (or potentially spotted) on the tracks, the entire station gets shut down. 🛑

That causes delays, and delays result in fines. Fines that are paid through the UK’s “delay repay” scheme. 💵

So SkyBound deploys autonomous drones to help verify reports of incidents and trespassers without having to shutdown the station based on a hunch! 🚁

These drones are pretty cool. They use high-resolution cameras and thermal imaging cameras to detect people and issues with the tracks (for example when the UK has a heatwave) ⚡️

They’re controlled using some clever autonomous software, but they’re also monitored by humans in a control room over 80 miles away! 📺

The drone and the control room share a realtime connection powered via AWS, so there’s no long range dedicated connection. Just a simple network or cellular connection on each end. ☁️

That makes this tech really easy to deploy and operate!

If you’re a fan of incredible tech build by developers, then you had better follow for more 😉

I was shocked when I found out doesn’t provide live telemetry to the teams! 🏎️

But there’s actually a pretty good reason for it! 📈

Liquid Cooling is a hot topic! 🔥

But seriously, what is liquid cooling? Why is it used? And how does it work?

Closed-loop liquid cooling works by circulating coolant through a sealed system to remove heat directly from the hardware inside a server rack.

As AI hardware becomes more powerful and produces more heat this can provide a much more efficient way of keeping it cool.

But there’s an important distinction: liquid cooling doesn’t necessarily mean huge amounts of water are being consumed by the servers themselves.

The coolant can circulate continuously within a closed loop. What happens to the heat after it leaves that loop?

The facility’s heat rejection system is what can determine how much water the data center actually consumes.

race start procedures are controlled entirely by this box!! 🏁

Now I know what you’re thinking… “there’s more to it than that” 👀

Yes there is. Anything to do with managing pit lane access, allowing cars to make their way to the grid, etc is all done via this box.

But NOT the timing! ⏱️

The timing is managed by separate systems which use timing loops build into the track, as well as high speed cameras on the start finish line when things get really close!

Thank you to for showing me this awesome piece of motorsport tech! ⚡️

Formula E’s broadcast tech is so… portable. 🏎️

Last week I attended the final stop of the 2026 season, and thanks to their tech team, I got to see behind the scenes of the entire broadcast. 🤯

Motorsport broadcasting is a different beast to traditional sports broadcasting, because a lot of the equipment travels with the series, rather than being permanently installed at the venue. And when you’re hosting a race weekend inside of a conference hall, you really are starting with just a big empty box.

So what does Formula E’s broadcast setup actually look like? 👀

Each of the “pods” has its own job to process the incoming data. Circuit cameras. Onboard cameras. Audio. Etc.

Each of those circuit camera produces a 3Gbit/s feed which is sent to the “mini data center” in the video, all of those feeds are then put through the network and encoded into a 20Mbit/s feed.

An on-site broadcast team follows the different stories unfolding on track and sends everything back to Formula E’s permanent Broadcast HQ in London using a cloud-based connection.

That HQ stays in exactly the same place whether the race is in Berlin, Tokyo or anywhere else in the world, and it’s where the final broadcast is put together.

So while the cars travel around the world, a surprising amount of the technology responsible for showing us the race travels with them.

Claude’s watermarking has been all over my feed this week, but I think the internet needs a simple explanation of how this works.

So here it is.

Anthropic, the company behind Claude, recently implemented a new watermarking feature into all of their models, which makes any text generated by their models detectable as AI-generated.

This watermark doesn’t just place some metadata into your text, which could be easily deleted. The watermark is the text.

The model places unique patterns into long strings of text, into long outputs of text, which, while technically possible for a human to write, would be highly unlikely.

Now Anthropic haven’t released exactly what these patterns would be but the concept isthe same as how I’ve explained it in this video.

Even the “lower-budget” racing series’ have some pretty cool tech. 🏎️

The timing system used for the British Truck Racing Championship and support races as the event behind me use a transponder system similar to what’s used in Formula 1.

It’s a pretty cool system that enables super high accuracy, all weather timing across any series. All you need to do is fit the transponder to whatever you’re driving, and it works!

Follow for more interesting tech! ❤️
