Human motor racing supremacy has five years left
- tasty_freeze 13y agoComputers can be even the best grand master at chess, yet enough people are riveted by human vs human chess tournaments that the chess scene still exists. Right now it might be possible to create a batting robot that would hit a home run more that 50% of at-bats, yet we still have baseball.
- bsaul 13y agoInteresting point of view, but remember a car purpose is to transport humans, otherwise it's not a car and you might as well build missiles or rockets. So saying "removing humans lets you gain some weight" is a bit wrong i think. If you want to compare you'll need to add a dummy body with an equivalent weight.
