Roborace series

Post by dr-baker »

So this new series is due to launch officially next year and, according to CEO, Lucas do Grassi, this driverless race series will initially... feature drivers to teach the AI!

Yeah, this is pretty disappointing, but not as disappointing as the previous four seasons. At least Roborace will half exist :P And this system might make for more peak entertainment value. Imagine the AI throwing it into the wall three laps after taking over!

Well, it has been 4 1/2 years since this thread was created, and I must say that thus series has bèn a roaring success, with massive crowds and highly entertaining races. I didn't think it would work without drivers to support, but that was clearly an error on my part.


Back to reality, seriously, what the heckhole happened?

I’ve only just realised that Roborace has/had their own You Tube channel, with their races on there! Will have to check out their race footage at some point. https://youtube.com/@Roborace?si=KISbk18EMMYrIZqx

What prompted me to look for this now? Because Abu Dhabi is launching their own Autonomous Racing Series! https://www.autosport.com/general/news/ ... /10587158/
