This is exactly the sort of thing we need to test the limits of robotic vehicles. Nothing spurs innovation like intense competition.
Also think it would be cool if the cars could get points for touching other cars (without crashing, of course) or faking them out with optical distractions or anything else.
Or unleash more obstacles that cars have to avoid or lose points. Fake babies crawling on to the track and such.
- sqeaky 10y agoI Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, the mafia run pizza company used some that might be useful in such a race. The pizza delivery cars where specifically designed with a sensor suite (lidar, radar, optical camers, etc..) and some software to find two black dots about 3 or 4 inches apart that moved together. Once found it determined if those pupils belonged to a driver of a vehicle, then determined if that vehicle was in the way or not. If those pupils did belong to a driver with a vehicle in the way of the pizza delivery, a quick blast of laser light would insure the vehicle couldn't react and the pizza delivery vehicle could pass on whichever side the vehicle didn't swerve.
