2022 WRC News & Rumours

[Mirek]

FIA's own press release gives some more info:

Starting from 2022 the FIA Artificial Intelligence Safety Camera (AISC) will become mandatory in all Rally1 cars. This forward-facing in-car camera will continually scan the special stage and its direct surroundings, identifying the shapes and analysing the position of spectators in the environment, hence helping to supplement the work undertaken by the FIA Safety Delegate to address unsafe situations. The crew-facing High-Speed Camera (HSC) currently in use in all Priority 1 cars will no longer be mandatory but only recommended.

Kiitos.

The camera is for sure able to recognize people and there are algorhytms which can determine if the people (or other objects) may collide with the vehicle carrying the camera but aside of a very clear situation such as a person on the road it will require to manually pre-define no-go zones per the safety plan in every single stage for the software so that it can check whether detected people are inside or outside of such zone.
