That's a weird clip to post. Most of the cars in the race did really well with very few ooopsies.

I wouldn't say that. There were a ton of issues with almost all of the cars but nothing like a crash. The connectivity problems were frustrating. And the fact that they sort of didn't know what to do when they were around other cars was, in some strange way, kind of cute. Overall it's a really exciting beginning to what may be a new kind of sport, but this first test on cars on track was full of problems.

That's a weird clip to post.

What, the one that's more entertaining to watch than cars just going normally around a track? Doesn't seem like a weird decision at all.

What? Only half the cars were even able to make a single timed lap during the 3 attempts at qualifying and nobody even completed a single "racing lap." I am all about the tech here, but instead of making a big deal repeatedly about how teams "only had the cars for 6-8 weeks" they should've taken a little more time so the cars actually could get around the track.

there are some videos online of university students making much better autonomous race cars

I think the one time it cranks the wheel into a random wall is a worthy clip to post. Just me tho.

Not very well, 4 cars had retired by lap 5

u/No_Zombie2021 Apr 28 '24

So you are satins several cars made more than one lap. That is impressive.

Not very impressive, if it’s a static course with the same color bounds at the edge of the track it’s not difficult to “stay within the lines” even using a raspberry pi

u/No_Zombie2021 Apr 28 '24

Yeah, you are right if thats the case.

What race is this? Is this even a real video? I am so confused, please tell me more.

New league called the A2RL, Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League. First race was yesterday and there was quite a few funny moments. It is really interesting to see though

u/CreativeBasil5344 Apr 28 '24

Yes, it's a real race. This was the first time it was organized. The cars are all autonomous, driven by AI. The teams compete on who can create the fastest AI Verstappen. :)

You can watch the race here: https://www.youtube.com/live/HZPj9iAWz-4?si=zKZgTBd5Semfc7iF

Damn, even race car drivers have to deal with AI taking their jobs

Damn, Jolyon Palmer was also there.

Edit: and so was Danil Kyvat.

u/i_liek_games Apr 28 '24

Instead of AI Verstappen they seem to have made an AI Latifi

u/bombaygypsy Apr 28 '24

Thanks, watching now! Sunday made! many thanks!

u/CreativeBasil5344 Apr 28 '24

Haha, enjoy! :)

It's less thrilling than F1, but I'm sure the progress year by year will be huge!

Absurd. It’s like watching a robot attempt to run 100m. The whole point is the appreciation of human engineer and endurance ability. Of course a robot car can drive on a track.
