I like the car that wanted to rest
Haha, when I heard about it I was expecting as much. It'd be pretty impressive if it went smoothly with the amount of testing they seemed to have done. Still an interesting project, curious how it'll evolve.
I think they did pretty well considering the couple of months the teams had to work on this.
The rules might need to be updated a bit though. Safety cars don't make as much sense to me when there are no people involved.
The "don't pass under yellow" rule kind of screws things up when you've got a full course yellow for the half of the race that wasn't under the safety car.
Looks like every time I try to play slot cars. Soon as I try to speed up and get crazy I fly off the track.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
During qualifying time trials, the driverless Dallara Super Formula racers outfitted with cameras and software seemed to struggle mightily to complete a full lap.
When it came time for the actual race, the lead racer, Polimove, spun out on the fourth of eight laps.
The second car, Tum, passed it safely, but shortly after that, the event’s officials threw up a yellow flag.
And since these are good AI drivers who obey the rules, the two behind Polimove stopped, unwilling to pass the spun-out yellow car.
These are early days for autonomous racing, and surely things will get better eventually — certainly, they’ve come a long way since Roborace’s first full circuit in 2017.
But for right now, we’re very much still in the “congratulate baby for successfully getting most of its food into its mouth” phase of self-driving racers.
