Drone Racing League is bringing an artificial intelligence robotic racing (AIRR) circuit to Orlando. This will afford fans and spectators the opportunity to witness the future as autonomous racing drones are flying through obstacles without any human intervention.

This event will consist of nine AlphaPilot teams, one autonomous racing drone, as well as one million dollars at stake.

This past August, as Digital Journal reported, they launched their new drone launch, the DRL Racer4.

Drong racing is one of the “fastest new sports” in the world. The infographic below speaks for itself.
