2025.11.15 - Rapson completes first A2RL race
Rapson has wrapped up its first race weekend in the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL), marking both a competitive debut and an important technical milestone for the team.
Out of 11 international entrants, Rapson was among the seven teams that passed all safety and capability checks to qualify for the Grand Final time trials. A crash in the second qualifying run meant the team missed the tight lap-time window for the multi-car Grand Final, and lined up instead for the Silver Race – where a conservative, data-focused strategy delivered a clean run to P4.
Behind the scenes, Rapson’s engineers quietly achieved what they see as the bigger step: installing their own reinforcement-learning-based (RL) controller on the A2RL Super Formula–spec car and completing controlled, low-speed manoeuvres under RL control at Yas Marina. To the team’s knowledge, this is the first time globally that an RL controller has been deployed on such a powerful single-seater race car in the physical world, outside of simulation.
For Rapson, this is the first real proof point on a longer journey: using autonomous racing as a testbed to develop “superhuman” motion intelligence – AI that can make fast, safe, optimal decisions – and eventually bring that capability into everyday traffic and road vehicles.
2025.11.07 - Bosch becomes Rapson's partner
We’re proud to welcome The Bosch Group in Hungary as our partner.
Bosch’s innovation and hands-on collaboration helps us experiment with putting self-learning AI on physical hardware — tackling high-performance edge cases and tightening feedback loops across bench, rig, and car.
About Bosch: The world’s largest automotive Tier-1 and a pioneer in autonomous and active-safety technologies, Bosch is synonymous with quality — bringing deep systems expertise, disciplined engineering, and a strong Hungarian footprint that anchors this collaboration.
Why it matters: Deploying self-learning AI on physical hardware—especially a high-performance race car—is unprecedented; this partnership helps pioneer it while delivering faster learning cycles, higher repeatability, and measurable quality gains.
Proud to build this with a global technology leader with a strong Hungarian presence.

2025.10.13 - Rapson enters A2RL
We’re proud to confirm Rapson’s entry to the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL).
A2RL is the world’s flagship driverless single-seater program at Yas Marina Circuit — an elite testbed where teams race full-size Super Formula cars using real-time AI. Why it matters: racing compresses years of development into days, forcing perception, planning, and control systems to perform safely at the edge— then transferring those gains to road vehicles and robotics.

On track, we’re running a fully autonomous racer with our proprietary motion-control stack, wrapped in a white-and-green livery that nods to our Budapest roots.
