This makes me wonder about the possibilities of AI-based racing in the future. Can we make a truly competitive sport of it? Grand Prix style auto racing is a really complex thing, with the most sophisticated cars in the world, and a lot of judgment calls by the team as well as the drivers. Speeds are limited by human reflexes and safety. Theoretically, we could get even faster, more difficult racing with AI. But will AI flatten the curve to where it becomes uninteresting?
- caconym_ 10y agoAIs are still limited by the capabilities of the hardware, and there are a huge number of variables to deal with. If the teams are properly incentivized to win even if it means occasionally having a crash because the car was operating on the bleeding edge, I think it should stay interesting. I think the bigger question is whether it's actually fun to watch cars racing without humans in them, no matter how exciting the racing is otherwise.
