arXiv:2607.17813v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In autonomous driving development, a perception dataset is crucial, as it provides fundamental data for training, testing, and validating algorithms for an autonomous vehicle's multimodal perception systems. So far, most research has concentrated on providing datasets for well-structured urban environments. This work introduces the A2RL V\textsubscript{max} open-source dataset, specifically designed for perception tasks in high-speed autonomous driving and multi-vehicle interaction. The dataset was captured during the 2024 Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL), held at the Yas Marina F1 Circuit, with participation from all competing teams. It contains diverse scenarios, including single-vehicle data at varying speeds, multi-vehicle sessions, and the full final four-vehicle race. The dataset contains almost 30,000 professionally annotated LiDAR point clouds, along with RADAR point clouds. In particular, it is the first large-scale dataset in autonomous racing to feature professionally annotated LiDAR point clouds, enabling deep learning-based perception research. The data is provided in a developer-friendly format, enabling easy implementation and evaluation in future research. We provide implementation and evaluation for off-the-shelf 3D detection and tracking methods. Although baseline methods show promising results for both 3D detection and tracking, specialized methods are required to address the unique challenges of high-speed autonomous driving.
