Formula E, the all-electric motorsport championship quickly gaining popularity around the world, showcases automotive innovation at the highest levels.
From race strategy to car design to a focus on best-in-class electric battery power, it’s no surprise that this sport is increasingly considered a source of inspiration for the future of mobility.
Technology advancements being developed and tested at the racetracks may soon reach the consumer electric vehicle (EV) market.
As the title sponsor and technology partner* for the Jaguar TCS Racing Formula E team, TCS knows this first-hand.
TCS futurists looked inside a Gen3 Formula E race car to envision the future of mobility in the coming years. It’s a bright future in which technologies like digital twins—recently highlighted by Digital Twindex report as transforming the automotive space within three years—will help consumers drive more safely, sustainably, and with more satisfaction.

An infographic showcasing how technological advancements for Formula E cars such as autonomous driving, predictive maintenance and collision avoidance will power mobility for the future. These racetrack technologies will soon make their way into the consumer market, making driving safer, more enjoyable, and sustainable. When it comes to sustainability, EV vehicles are already making their mark and more such advanced technologies such wireless EV charging, driver recognition/monitoring and safer, lighter materials for cars will make their way into the market.
On the racetrack, advanced technology such as digital twins, sensors, and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) make it possible for Formula E cars to race at top performance without sacrificing driver safety.
Potential mechanical issues can be identified in advance using a digital twin of the car to predict which parts may fail and recommend preventative maintenance measures well in advance. At the same time, just as technology is used to predict the car’s performance, sensors and data analytics can be used to monitor the driver’s health for their safety. These features will be invaluable for everyday consumers, helping to keep their cars functioning well and avoiding common driving problems.
When it comes to sustainability, the transition to electric vehicles is already happening across the world.
As we can see from Formula E—the world’s first net zero motorsport—sustainable driving experience can be achieved without sacrificing automotive performance thanks to EV technology. If this is true on the racetrack, it’s doubly true for the highway. While early battery technology necessitated lengthy charging stops, improvements mean that batteries will be lighter, store more energy, and charge much faster. In what could be one of the most compelling EV innovations ever, we may even see a future where EVs can recharge while in motion on the road as power is transmitted wirelessly.
Innovations that are fueling the Formula E cars will drive the future of mobility.
In addition to a safer and more sustainable driving experience, the future of mobility will be more enjoyable for the driver, with AI and automation making it easier to access driving information and communicate with the wider world. Informed by rapid advancements in motorsports like Formula E, it’s clear that the future of mobility will help make the world a better place for everyone.
