One method of creating adversarial examples in a "black box" setting is to create and train a local model as a stand-in for the actual model using the inputs and outputs of the actual model. [1] So, the answer is "no" bu

I'm not sure what makes that farcical - in the first three seasons, the car swap was required because battery capacities were too low to power the car for the whole race. Now the battery capacity requirement is double - isn't this

For those who haven't followed the link, Formula E is essentially just like F1 but with all-electric cars. It's a bit slower, but the competition is great, it's my personal favorite racing series. The official youtube channel
