every test 2 weeks prior... zero issues... ask your team to test every possible variable... Nothing wrong... good to go... client standing next to you... what's that do? guaranteed BSOD...
I know this might be a joke but just making sure you know, the people who made the AI race car's only had 2 months to do it, even the race went bad, it took lap 5/8 to start the race, and then another safety happened after a car spun, also the cars stopped because they were programmed not to overtake during a safety when a car is off the track, and multiple cars stopped on the track before the race finally started, which left them out.
Do you forget formula E ? It was a mess in the start with bateries failing every race and strategies not letting the team to even finish the race (Nissan kekw) in my opinion that's the best part of the new championships in a few years this cars will fly on the map with nearly 0 faults and it will be boring so have fun as long as you can
@@redflagy8 the only point of having ai as a driver over a human is enjoying crashes and destruction without having to worry for someone. we'll see in a few years how they play this safety part cause im sure those bots aint cheap.
If racing games have taught me anything, that things gonna randomly decide to divebomb your sidepods in a corner, or take out the entire field in one chicane.
It wasn't shit though. It's really impressive that the AI managed to do a lap at any sort of race pace. I don't have any interest in watching driverless cars go around a track because the combination of engineering and human driver talent is the point of racing for me. But as a technical exercise to advance autonomous driving I'd call this a success for AI.
Not true at all buddy machines already beat chees master even one of best gaming players... Those AL cars just need time and you see they will be faster then humans.
Good god, i didn't think it would get worse from the 1st race. Well i was wrong. It literally caught on fire on a promotional video. Whos running their PR? This series needs minimum 2 more years of development before they do anything on track.
When I started to get interested in F1, the cars started to become boring. So, I don't really care that much. But it would propably be more fun to watch AI races while they are still not perfected. Maybe there are some fun action. Though it would be super boring when they all are driving perfectly.
Well theyn you havent heard much. There were such features in some older games like F1 Championship Edition, where you could watch AIs racing against each other and it was interesting.
BMW's 330i Track Trainer back in 2007 with Jeremy Clarkson as a ride along already did this. Indy Autonomous Challenge has been running since 2021. This is LIV golf for motorsports.
The interesting thing about AI is that a llm can easily require megawatts of power to run where human intelligence works just fine on a pack of twizzlers and cocaine.
0:50 there's even one from the Politechnico of Milan! Anyway would be super fascinating to see in the future a couple of these AIs putted inside any Motorsport grid (in this case they are more suited for superformula but maybe im the future they'll be able to put them into any racing gris!)
@@848 Disagree. Racing is a precision driving. GPS signal can be blocked, reflected and interfered with. I watched the race and that's exactly what happened. Considering the purpose of AI racing, shouldn't rely on GPS.
@@npanopUK do you know something we don’t? It looks a lot more like the ai was just badly trained. And it’s not like the car “relies” on GPS, there are tons of other sensors. Also, what’s to say they aren’t using a local positioning system as well? People understand more what GPS is so it is better to say GPS even if that is just false.
@@848 Cars were unpredictable in 13-14 due to loss of gps. Also on straights they could turn hard for no reason, that's reflected gps and car thinks it's somewhere else, thus reaction. I would use gps only to understand what sector I am on and use computer vision (segmentation) combined with lidar to "see" the track. Mimic human so to say
i was there when the actual event for the autonomous racing league happened. Lets just say it didn't end well. (The cars systems crashed atleast 5 times)
Why put the money into start a new racing tournament with less restrictions to advance cars/technology I’m sure much more people would rather watch that, high performance cars, new tactics/strategies, new builds, new teams. That would be amazing with right money/sponsorship and publicity
In SanFrancisco opponents are shutting down autonomis taxis by placing a traffic cone on the front hood. No matter how sophisticated the electronics it will never be able to deal with the unexpected. Think of that as your car drives you off a cliff.
The AI car leaves an incredible amount of space to the kerb and track limits. It is very conservative when it comes to taking the racing line and makes very little use of the kerbs as well as being unaggressive in terms of taking a line. It also seems to be looking for a very smooth line as opposed to the lines of human drivers (and I'm not just talking about F1, any driver tries to get as close to the kerbs as possible). I don't have much faith in this project, but we'll have to see what they are capable of because the first race was a disaster.
Logically AI drives conservatively. Do you know why? Because it gives it more margin for error. After a few generations, it will obviously drive better. But even this is an incredible feat of engineering.
Haha that was the perfect add for AI race cars and it went about as well as their first race which was pretty much full of issues. I've no doubt it'll improve but right now the systems need more testing before they can start calling it a series!
It would be interesting to know what the auto driver would be capable of with more info like suspension travel, wheel speeds, pressures, and temperatures. Probably wouldn't match a decent human driver, but maybe it would at least be closer. Still, self driving has no future on the road (or shouldn't have at least); there's way better options to replace cars that are way more efficient for transport, and don't involve massive (expensive, and poluting) batteries that degrade with full cycles and fast charging (not that there aren't better options for cars than full electric or full gasoline, just that there are better options than cars). And on the track, i see this as no different than maze solving robots; very interesting in their own way, but not a replacement for a driver's race.
This is how we should test autonomous driving. Make it a sport and after we perfected it, transfer the technology to mass production cars. This way we save lives instead of testing autonomous driving in real life right away.
I wouldn’t care if the ai could shave off 10 seconds per lap, I’ll never be interested in watching computers race each other in identical cars. The magic of human racing is in the split second decisions, the human stories, and the mistakes of the drivers. The people who are trying to push all this so stuff just don’t get that.
Exactly. The driver is where the blend of man and machine come together, being a race driver is a massively athletic endeavour. They may as well run these AI races on a computer simulator, to fully "AI" the experience!!!
You can tell from the onboard videos that the AI car brakes much slower (than an F1 driver would). These cars are supposed to be driven to reach the tire limits -- so for the software/ML to learn those limits, spinning and accidents are required (given controlled temperature, tire, and road conditions). Otherwise, just by "programming" the AI (as suggested in the video, first on simulation, then given 6 weeks) would not outperform humans.
Funny you can see the sticker that probably caused the fire flapping in the wind. You'd think they would've found that out before now watching previous videos. Stickers don't stay stuck try paint.

Yeap... this is what happens when you put out things that are not yet ready.

I feel like this is just a set up to “show” us that AI is not as good as human and we shouldn’t be scared. I won’t fall for it.
