    150 mph without a driver: Indy autonomous cars gear up for race

    https://news.yahoo.com/150-mph-witho...101721543.html


    There will be cars at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday but no driver in sight as racing teams mark a milestone in autonomous vehicle development.


    Nine single-seaters will take part in the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC), a competition with a $1 million prize that aims to prove "autonomous technology can work at extreme conditions," said Paul Mitchell, CEO of co-organizer Energy Systems Network (ESN).


    Cars will not race on the "Brickyard" track at the same time but will start one after the other -- with the winner being the fastest over two full-speed laps.

    What’s the point might as well just play a video game. I find it hard to believe this would increase the fan base
