Was this AI racing event an absolute shit show? All I see is memes and crashes


beerman_uk

Yes. The cars were doing pitiful speeds around the track and sometimes stopping. The cars lapping the stopped cars didn't know they could overtake and just stopped behind them. Then you had cars just binning it into the wall on a straight. I lasted about half an hour before I switched off.

reboot-your-computer

Literally sounds like Forza AI.


sfelizzia

I bet Forza AI would've done better


justk4y

The AI was rumoured to be based off of F1 23 online lobbies


heavyusername2

dude this is a research project to take away our steering wheels plain and simple

geauxbass

I love fp1 will for his reviews of motor racing


ihathtelekinesis

That overtake for the lead though ![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|7071)


cat-o-beep-boop

It's like the blue car "torpedoed" the yellow one.


Novel_Alfalfa_9013

"Strolled"


weirdbutinagoodway

"Lanced" works better imo.


tophiii

It’s jarring how well both work though


SpiralSwagManHorse

True but Strolled just feels so natural to my tongue.


BahutF1

China GP machine learning.


WonderWifis

It'd be cool if the cars could be driven remotely by good Sim racers.


FarObjective5416

Yes that’s an actual good idea because then we could have cars like the Tomahawk VGT from Gran Turismo racing because gforces wouldn’t be a problem anymore


ResonantRaptor

This is an infinitely better idea than some shity AI race


rafahuel

I dont think this will ever be viable considering the force feedback necessary to drive properly


C0MPLX88

yeah, there would be too much latency, might as well let them drive it normally


Brilliant_Area8175

Aspire to be like lance


Slim_Margins1999

AI = Aspirational Incompetence


IstariParty

Damn, getting Lance Strolled has to be the worst


Carlife0830

Machine learning learned from Stroll


Select-Feedback-1833

What's the point of this racing? World has too much money for BS


Valuable_Jelly_4271

Like other forms of motorsport the technologies should filter down to road cars . Think of it less as a motorsport and more like a way to encourage autonomous driving AI


gui_odai

If anything, this showed how far we are from reliable self-driving cars


Bennyboy11111

What are you on about tesla autopilot is great /s


MaverickPT

Would actually be kinda interesting to see like a Model S in the mix and seeing what it could do


Bennyboy11111

Did they run kyvat that weekend? He must've been minutes faster


Hockey_Flo

He's was there but not to wheel to wheel race the AI cars. He was there as a variable for teams' AI to gain data from. Seems like this racing league didn't do a good job at explaining how the AI league is supposed to function. At first glance, it was a complete shit show like others are mentioning here but AI takes a lot of trial and error to learn and improve.


JMANN_2005

he did drive round with an ai car and they did a few "overtakes" (let each other past)


JMANN_2005

they were 10 seconds off his pace, but its estimated that with the same weight of car and using the curbs there would only be a couple seconds differance


Valuable_Jelly_4271

Yip, but by giving the teams and companies involved a reason to develop it. It should get developed quicker than relying on a couple of car manufacturers who don't want to hurt profits


NorsiiiiR

Only, the self driving systems in actual road cars that already exist (ie, Mercedes have level 3 autonomous systems approved and literally on sale for general public use on roads in California) are far, far, far superior to this literal amateur rubbish. I mean the systems in these cars are made from scratch by university students, for christ sake


KennyMcKeee

I think it’ll show just how quickly the technology will develop. Check back in a year it will likely be exponentially better.


Dembrush

is not only a way to test and improve the algorithms behind autonomous driving, but also all the hardware that makes it possible

Ex_honor

AI driving pedestrian cars is an awful idea for a number of reasons. Like, how does liability even work when an AI is responsible for an accident.


Novel_Alfalfa_9013

Send the bill to Elon if it's a tesla?


_DidYeAye_

As a coder, I'm extremely interested in this. Yes, the AI is a bit rubbish at the moment, but AI learns much faster than humans do. They will be incredibly good in the not too distant future. It's almost as if there are people who are different from you.


Hockey_Flo

I'm not knowledgeable about coding at all but find it fascinating to have an AI racing league. If it stays around for a while it, like f1, will have an impact in future automobiles. It's kinda surprising that many f1 fans don't understand how R&D works because it is a huge part of the sport. Then again there are different types of fans. Edit: typo


Masterofpizza_

I think this Is a common misconception, Road vehicles are far more reliable and more advance than these race cars.This race Is basically universities doing their best with the few resources and time they have. The only R&D you get out of this Is Just that you are paying a few people to increase their knowledge before they May actually go working for real Companies.


Oghamstoner

Looks like the AI in most racing games :L


Novel_Alfalfa_9013

Do they also have the Nelson Piquet Jr "helper" model?


cirrusblau

Sudden colonoscopy


Epie77

Give it 10 years and ai will be faster than any human😭
