      A lot of the difficulty of autonomous driving is all the random events that can happen like pedestrians unexpectedly crossing or a blockage in the road. With a pre determined circuit it probably isn't as difficult, but obviously even if they managed to make driverless cars faster it would still be boring.

      ​@@Dorgpoop For me it would be amazing to see self-driving cars do things we wouldn't have thought possible with physics, and just get better and better. It would be great to see them compete with humans. Of course, humans bring their personalities and their stories to the sport, something that AI cannot do. But for me it's a different kind of attraction. As for chess, I love to watch AI games too, preferably with expert commentary since some of those ideas are so out of the league of anybody else. And it's also great to see engines compete and overtake each other for the first spot and just get better.

    This is not a sport and will never be one. It’s purely a commercialized incentive for engineering schools to advance their research. That’s all.
    People only care about racing because the human driver is taking a risk. Remove that risk and you won’t find enough engineers who care to fill the stands. “Robot Wars” was a televised example of how unappealing it is to most.
    Lastly, why are we spending TRILLIONS trying to get contemporary tech to work on contemporary roads, when it would only cost billions to embed magnetic sensors into all public roads, eliminating half of the complexity behind automated driving? Current self-driving research is an exercise in stupidity, with everyone trying to Rube Goldberg a solution while ignoring the obvious one.
    Also, speed isn’t the danger. It’s the sudden stop at the end that kills, not speed. Differential in speed, combined with slow human reactions, is the danger on public highways. The only way automated driving will work is if all cars use it all the time on highways or you will always have fatal errors
