Speak for yourself, I'd love to see that. In fact, I'd love if they made all the cars either remote controlled or self driving, and removed most of the safety rules and the restrictions to keep things "competitive". I mean, it could be another sport, with another name. But I'd love to watch that.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoYes, please. I'd love to watch that as well. And no tech difference limits for "competitiveness" - let the best engineering team win, however unfair their idea is; the next year, someone will figure out how to beat them anyway.
- x0054 11y agoI second that! Perhaps it should be another sport indeed. It would also promote self driving cars, and make people feel a little safer about the concept.
- kamaal 11y agoGood, but without human drivers involved, emotions and then the fun is gone. Sports are interesting to me because of demonstration of human qualities like hard work, brilliance, endurance and even the mistakes we make. Because they bring out the best in us. If I have to see how well algorithms work, TopCoder or SPOJ generally does the job, I don't see much fun in two emotionless bots flying on the track without having the faintest clue what the whole thing is all about.
- bborud 11y ago> Good, but without human drivers involved, emotions and > then the fun is gone. Precisely. Ask people who Ayrton Senna is and they'll probably know he was a F1 driver from Brazil, won championships, died in an accident and was buried as if head of state. Ask them about the MP4/4 Honda RA168E and even many anoraks will have some trouble telling you what championship year it ran.
