The human is starting to look like the weakest link.
For such a closed track (known route to the centimeter, guaranteed no obstacles, etc) - a Self-Driving version of this could do it a good deal faster.

- orbital-decay 4y ago>The human is starting to look like the weakest link. Human is a weakest link since 80s. That's the entire reason Group B has been cancelled and F-1 regulated into oblivion.
- hef19898 4y agoIt took WRC all of two years to be faster than Group B. Turned out focusing on suspension and handling improved performance more than pure performance. That being said, Group B was just awesome and crazy. And not just because of the cars or the drivers, spectators were just as crazy, as were officials with their utter disregard for safety.
- Rastonbury 4y agoYeah I'd like to see that one day on regular tracks, a true mechanical and AI engineering arms race. Though I think it would be too expensive
- killingtime74 4y agoThere is no point without a human, what's the difference between that and a bullet/missile?
- tshaddox 4y agoYou could still have human operators. Competitive drone racing is pretty neat.
- rad_gruchalski 4y agoMeh.
- rolivercoffee 4y agoThere was a driverless series in development https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roborace https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roborace Unfortunatly it looks like it might have floundered
- luma 4y agoYou would think that to be true, but I don't know that any serious attempts (of which several have been made, see RoboRace et al) have yet bested a human driver.
