Pretty slow, you need 20 or so generations to start getting interesting results. Edit: after letting it run 30 generations, the best car went past 200.

- nervechannel 16y agoThat's not slow. In 20 generations, humans hardly change at all.
- phillijw 16y agoThese aren't humans. They are vehicles.
- feral 16y agoIf you take a population of humans, put them on an island, and only allow those that grow tall to breed, after 20 generations you will notice a huge difference in the average height of your population. You might already be aware of this, but it is important not to confuse the slow mutation rate, with a slow response to selection pressure. Nor is it appropriate to generalise that because the modern day selection pressures are mild, humans somehow evolve 'intrinsically' slowly. The 'cars' are evolving fast, because those with a low fitness are ruthlessly culled. Human populations can change fast when comparably strong selection pressure is applied.
- darkxanthos 16y agoIt can be very difficult watching someone fail a million different ways while they try to learn a new skill. ;)
- derwiki 16y agoI hope it's keeping track of the results on the back end for each user that's doing this. In generation 20, I hit 400+ so mileage definitely varies.
- Sephr 16y agoI got one that went past 200 by the 3rd generation. You can't claim that you need any certain amount of generations before anything interesting happens, as the mutations are random.
