Airspeeder Announces Intel as Official Intelligence Partner
by DRONELIFE Staff Writer Ian M. Crosby
Airspeeder has announced a new collaboration with Intel that will leverage the tech leader’s computing technologies for flying car racing. The company joins Airspeeder as its Official Intelligence Partner, with its Intel® Core® processor and Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors to help chart the future of the sport and increase its appeal to both racers and fans alike.
The new strategic sponsorship deal was announced during a joint presentation held at the Adelaide Motorsport Show on March 25th, which also saw Adelaide-based Alauda showcase its new Mk4 Airspeeder – the first piloted aircraft to participate in the Airspeeder race series.
“We’re incredibly excited to have Intel on board. The technology, insight and innovation it’s bringing to Airspeeder will transform our racing series, making it even more immersive and dynamic for pilots and spectacular for our audiences,” said Alauda Aeronautics CEO Matt Pearson. “Just as importantly, Intel’s ‘pervasive connectivity’ perfectly matches our vision of an always-connected, vertical-enabled future. Through the actionable insights provided by AI, we can achieve next-level eVTOL performance and control, which we see as the key to unlocking the future of private air mobility.”
“This is another example of Intel continuing to deliver the compute power needed to stretch the notion of what’s possible, make what was once science fiction a reality, and transform the way we live our lives,” said Intel Managing Director ANZ Andrew McLean. “Helping Airspeeder bring this new concept to life has the potential to not only change the way we race, but also opens up endless possibilities in urban mobility.”
