The air foils cover the headlamps? Must look like shit all backlit with less night time visibility.

But this is interesting. I like the idea of autonomous racing better than autonomous driving.
>would they make counter maneuvers somewhat indecisively between passenger and pedestrian safety lololol

>WAT Racing™ Autonomous Division
>Beat up old Honda Civic with an LS1 in the front and a 13b in the trunk
>The "Computer" is a /g/entoomen rapidly typing in code as its needed
>The other cars complete their first lap before WAT even gets to the first bend
>Just as it enters the curve, the rear bumper falls off, blocking part of the track
>Then the wheels
>Slowly, the entire car comes apart and blocks the rest of the track
>The other driverless cars, seeing the blockage in the road, slam on the brakes, causing a huge pileup

>WAT Racing™ wins again!

This could happen
Now that you've said it, it exists somewhere.

I remember my first meme

the point of sport is ultimately competition between adult males as a show of dominance so never, unless it's like battlebots and 2/3s of the program is about the engineering teams

Kias and Hyundais are stepping up for real. Soon.

Isn't that slated for next year, actually? As in autonomous Formula E races?

So Scalextric?

The whole point of auto racing is driver skill. I don't wanna see my Dell put a ford fusion around a course, I wanna see a person do it.

Not in F1.

>>15861262
name 10 auto racers you know and respect

>>15861265
Of course driver skills play a role in F1. If your car is super advanced and the driver is slow to give commands and have no experience, you are obviously losing.

>>15861612
Safety measures have effectively removed driver skill as a limiting factor, at least among the top 10.
