THE AI ANGLE
Optimizing racecar setups and aerodynamic simulations

OpenAI partnered with Chip Ganassi Racing to optimize car setups during the IndyCar season. Other racing teams also train machine learning algorithms on computational fluid dynamics data and radio communications. Engineers and data specialists must now integrate machine learning workflows directly into physical vehicle preparation.

THE TEACHING ANGLE
Students can examine whether machine learning models trained on fluid dynamics data provide reliable engineering decisions compared to traditional simulations.
