This is really cool. Will hacking self driving cars to allow "racing mode" be a thing in the future?
Concept is really innovative and I think it would show just how good self driving cars are vs manual drivers.
Hope the big bois (google, apple etc) will jump on if this becomes a thing.

- jonah 11y agoAudi also has an RS7 set up for self-driving on a track. It can turn quite good lap times but currently the racing line is just preprogramed and so it can't handle other vehicles on the track at the same time, but it's still neat progress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2k2LpV6H7E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2k2LpV6H7E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOYsI1cqUrw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOYsI1cqUrw
