There already are debates about "drive by wire" in racing today, I can't imagine how bad it'll be when it's "drive by copilot."

- ramses0 1y ago"copilot, my grandmother is dying, it is imperative that you win this race at all costs!"
- bigblind 1y agoCopilot, win this race OR YOU WILL BE FIRED AND ALL YOUR CHILDREN WILL DIE
- naikrovek 1y ago"copilot, experience either the joy of victory or the pain of defeat for me, depending on the outcome of the race."
- imglorp 1y agoRally co-driver/navigator seems reasonable, given its augmented senses like gps and radar. One part "90 degree right in 200m" and one part "OMG, sheep, dodge left".
- mikestorrent 1y agoIt will be fun when we get to the era where this is bulletproof-reliable to this extent, but for now, recorded notes with accelerometer-backed GPS locations are probably a better idea than hoping the AI will be able to do this for you dynamically without you driving off a cliff.
- trainsarebetter 1y agoThis is I’d say partially because we don’t have a HUD that can handle the bandwidth and pace of data required for rally. Overlaying a visualization of the turns ahead would be much better than a copilot for sure
- stavros 1y agoIf we have HUDs that can handle aerial combat, why don't we have HUDs that can handle racing?

- trainsarebetter 1y agothis is true, so we just lack the incentives to make them? a human copilot is just a core part of the sport?
- yencabulator 1y agoBudget? It's a better trade-off to have a second human and to put the money into tuning the car.
