Can we get a reaction/review please, or has everyone been paid off to hype this event only.

Right? I’m all for the relentless march of technology but this is beyond unsalvageable. I used to think we were maybe 5 years away from acceptable self driving cars, I am now convinced we are 20 years away. Sheesh

Couldn't agree more. It could have been (in my opinion) substantially helped by including at least one announcer who actually understood at least the broad strokes of the tech involved. I'm both a technology fan and a racing fan, but I was tuned in more as a tech geek than a race geek. And yet, not a single interesting tidbit about the tech in the whole broadcast. "Speaking of animals, which animal is your code most like?" Really? I mean - I guess at least it's been "a first thing" so next time they can look back and compare themselves favorably, but man-o-man, this thing needed more time in the oven!

this idea is dumb

Just like F1 then.

@@rock3tcatU233oh edge lord

How was it a farse? Were you even there? Nonsense comment.

@@chachilinares Did you not watch that total shitshow?

@@rock3tcatU233 F1 doesn't have cars stopping on the line, yeeting themselves into walls on straights, randomly slamming on the breaks and just generally going rogue. If they'd had more than 4 cars on track at a time the entire facility would have been destroyed.

He's had enough poor guy.

Oh I think he deserves more.

Next week Verstappen is gonna announce his own AI that ends up taking over the worlds

@@f.kieranfinney457 why though why is he so hated

This is not humiliating at all

It really is. They didn't even think through the yellow flag stuff. The system should have been for a car to declare itself a casualty (senses a crash or loss of control -- easy with an accelerometer) over a centralized comms system. Then the other cars can pass it, but not each other while the yellow flag is out. The team could also clear the casualty state once approved by race control, ie if it was just a spin and can rejoin. Or recover the vehicle under yellow flag / safety car. This is run-of-the-mill bachelors degree capstone stuff.

lol kind of like how all big leagues start

couldnt of been said any better

@@niallk9336oh I didn’t know it was that simple 😅

I agree now I really would love to see someone add voice overs to the race😂

​@@knightfall91 With Bender and Calculon from Futurama

Where is it funny? I feel asleep.

The problem is that modern formula 1 is not much different from this. and sometimes this farce is even praised, like the Canadian Grand Prix 2011.

@@streamcnoremorse3323 no its not lol

I had no idea I was watching AI driven cars when I came here and I thought this was a paralympics racing event

@@chumleyki spit out my coffee reading that 🤣🤣🤣

they’re just learning from Lance Stroll! 😂😅

Hope you watched that sprint race already because GOD DAMN.

@@guttsu Now THAT was a race

​@mcspeedypantsjr5713 Just not too many riders left at the end 😅

I looked it up and I think the tickets were free at least, still a massive waste of time

@@inahole2678be serious what did you expect to see

@@MegaSturrupnot 50kmh racing 😂

Who says we gotta start anywhere? It’s worse than RC cars. Ridiculous.

​@@f.kieranfinney457 I'm pretty sure this has been said about every new technology when it was it its start. I remember when touch screen phones came out some "experts" said that it would never catch on, back in the day you had to push on the screen with force and the batteries were aweful and so on. If people who thought like you were in change or innovation we would still drive with horses instead of cars.

It boggles my mind. Am i work in robotics. The first thing i do coding a submarine or boat is plan what happens when it fails. Because it _will_ fail, especially in testing / development. Things are going to go wrong. The most important and #1 priority is to manage those failures appropriately. These guys jumped ahead to the vision part and were like "oh we don't need to worry about what happens during a crash". Amateur hour.

@@niallk9336they didn’t even program a way to turn it around if it spins out and goes backwards.

It literally has no reason to exist other than so tech-bros can jerk off at the idea of driverless cars. It's asinine.

That’s what the horsemen said to the first ever motor car

​@@jgbainsits not the same. Sport is about people.

HAHA so true.

@@jgbains maybe the horse to the car would slightly closer.... but no this is no "horseman" or rider no driver just computer

@@wizzyno1566 who builds the cars that are racing? Weak logic.

Oh such a smart idea! And with no drivers, why have a speed limit down pit lane too, right? Because what else would let the cars know they need to slow down? It's all done by software and going into SC mode makes the cars adhere to the SC speed limit. And just because there aren't drivers in the cars, please explain to me how that would help the track marshals receive less of an injury if they were to get hit. Please, go ahead. These cars are heavier than the same version with a human driver and, as was seen through out the weekend, these cars are still having the bugs worked out. We've seen them randomly spin, brake or turn with zero notice, so would you want to be on track picking up debris with a car zooming by you while you have no clue where it's going to end up? I'm guessing your answer is no. Which is why people with common sense and experience in racing(like the organizers of this race) not only have a SC period, but they even LOWERED the SC speed limit. There's other obvious reasons too, but a track workers life/safety should easily be enough lol

@@sennadesillva I get your point, but even at slow speeds, these looked dangerous. Perhaps they could introduce a system where the cars just pull to a stop under yellow flags.

The safety car is for debri collectors and marshalls

​@sennadesillva it aint that deep no need to write a thesis about this 😅

@@user-en7cv7hr2r😂😂😂😂

Looking forward to battle bots with humanoids!

Why? People will always prefer to watch people. We see ourselves in their effort. This is a weird sideshow, a curiosity.

Probably about 12 months... I think it would have been smarter to run a season off camera first, these teams only started 2 months ago. Could have had a 1 hour show about the technology with highlights or something.

How about Canada 2011 praised by lunatics. It is the same entertaiment

Wow, did you really just type that? It is not the future of racing. It is the future of road transport. It is precisely like broadcasting a science fair because that's exactly what it is !

@@procatprocat9647 sarcasm buddy

@@motornaut Sure. You're still missing the point.

@@procatprocat9647 I think Tesla or Google is way past whatever this disaster was. So I don't think anything can be gained from this clown show

The future dystopia of racing, also known as the death of racing, death of cars, death of entertainment, death of souls, death of dreams, and death of freedom

It's a new dystopian form of 'racing', where all great things about racing, cars and humanity die

@@Madness1299 agreed!

I'd love to see how Forza is going to get you home from a night out 😂

Underrated comment 😂

No, you won't. Unless you are made unemployed by AI and you have far too much time on your hands.

I doubt A.I can be faster in real life. In a racing game yes, but IRL it's an actual sport that requires physical capacities

@@chumleyk or i could be retired from making enough money easy without having to work for it myself

@casscroute8706 a.i. will eventually have all the input senses we have... touch... smell... etc. They'll be able to adapt to track and weather conditions... not just drive the car based on algorithmic data.

That's what I wanna see anyway for top tier racing. Moving the drivers from car to pit complex removes a lot of the need for current safety measures, so we could have faster cars, more permissive regulations around overtaking & weather conditions.

The x2010 would actually be able to drive irl if this became a thing (The x2010 was based off real data right?)

@@jeffreytenthije No, it couldn't. There are no tires which can cope with the stresses of that car, from what I recall about the investigations around that. I wonder if it could on an indoor track, where a really smooth surface could be used, that doesn't have to deal with uncontrolled weather.

@@ChrispyNut That's actually an awesome idea - don't think the drivers would agree but sim racers would! Haha.

@@After_Burnett Some would be down for it, others wouldn't, but that's motor racing anyway. Some like endurance, some like Sprint, some like open wheel, some like bumper cars. It would be awesome for sim racing, given the increased R&D into cockpits, as well as improving network & input latency. Would take a chunk of investment on the circuit side too though, needing to ensure thorough wifi coverage, with frequencies which are pretty easily blocked.

They should've hired some Indians on Fiverr instead

Thanks, I didn't have a clue what was happening

Same question. Upon hearing GPS, you know the tech isn't ready for this kind of racing yet...

Maybe they need to have Google compete. They have autonomous cars driving around public streets.​@@pixelsam123

Exactly, this is not much more exciting than watching a Roomba work. A CNC machine milling a complicated piece of aluminium is more satisfying.
