Love seeing technology and research. But damn this is unwatchable.
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
As an experiment it was intriguing, as a race it was an absolute farce.
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.
This event was just one of the many humiliations Daniil Kvyat had to suffer in his life.
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
This is a kids science fair competition for millionaires
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 😅
This is literally the worst/best thing I’ve ever watched 😆😆😆🤣 Seeing the cars yeet themselves into the wall and randomly slam on the brakes was amazing.
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! 😂😅
People will say thys is unwatchable as sport. But i insist we watch as its great as a comedy.
That was the funniest race I've ever seen!
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
Seeing the AI get lost (1:12:00) and watching the cars crash into each other (1:05:48) reminds of watching Gran Turismo 4 B-spec (AI) driving shenanigans! I think a LOT more development time is required before this series should be broadcast again.
About as exciting as a windows update....if only MotoGP was in Jerez this weekend. Oh wait, it is. Bye!
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 😅
This concept needed a bit more time in the oven to cook before being broadcast online for spectators, but that's ok, gotta start somewhere. Definitely not an entertaining spectator sport yet, but I hope that it becomes one someday.
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.
Not only does this highlight how difficult and complex developing an AI system this is, but it really highlights how incredible the human brain is. The most sophisticated thing in the universe (that we know of) lives in every human on Earth.
Props to the commentators for staying awake and trying their best to make that interesting. Let's face it though, that was bollocks.
"Now this is racing" said NO ONE ever in the history or future or motorsports but very well could be the demise 🤯🥵😢🤦
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.
The "Drive To Survive" season is going to be epic this year!
Did they not test it before broadcasting it? 😂
And I sure hope the crowd didn't pay to be there.
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 😂
So I agree this was not a very exciting adrenaline filled race. However this is the first of something and typically when there’s a first or something, it’s a little lackluster and it leaves room for improvement so let’s not forget that a year or three years this could be evolving into something absolutely crazy.
what a great way to advance AI
Hope there are more races in the series
Looking forward to battle bots with humanoids!
Why do we need a SC if there’s no one in the cars
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😂😂😂😂
Never thought US 2005 or Belgium 2021 would ever be topped...
this was literally an absolute car crash of an event.
How about Canada 2011 praised by lunatics. It is the same entertaiment
This has proved because you can it doesn't mean you should.
This is for the geeks of engineering, not yet for fans of motorsport.
Future of racing. Conceptually very interesting but not a spectator sport. Its like broadcasting a science fair
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
Commentators work so hard to make this looks interesting
Well F1 is safe for a decade or two then 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
This reminds me of when I was a kid and my friends and I would try use multiple remote controlled cars at the same time
So wait we’re watching…. Computers. Racing cars.
I can watch this in Forza.
I'd love to see how Forza is going to get you home from a night out 😂
Oh dear. Well done for the broadcast. Maybe we can come back in 20 years
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.
One day I'll be watching this video back when it has a few million views and people will be comparing it to when the A.I. drivers teams set faster lap times then humans in F1
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.
Both the Italian cars breaking down shows how little AI will change the world
Underrated comment 😂
Why not let sim racers remote pilot the cars? This is painful to watch.
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.
So the conclusion: ai cars level right now is "granny going to supermarket"
1:05:52 Did Stroll program that car? :’)
I was racing at the Yas Kart circuit yesterday and ran into some of these guys, and they were exactly the high school science teachers you expect them to be.
They should've hired some Indians on Fiverr instead
Give it another 3 years. We're not there yet! Comiserations to everyone involved in broadcasting this, you're the real heroes!😂
This was great, I don't see what people are complaining about. Yes it can be improved but this was the first ever broadcast of such a thing. Normal race broadcasting has over 60 years of development, you have to give this at least a little time. Also thanks to the Race for the broadcast! ❤
This whole race is a prototype thingy....I'm quite exited on how this develops!
Just amazing! Good to see Danny K!
Expensive lessons. They should have made 1/10 scale cars and race them on a go kart track.
Well that… was fucking dreadful
How is this racing exactly?
It's a new dystopian form of 'racing', where all great things about racing, cars and humanity die
@@Madness1299 agreed!
Racing starts at 1:48:42,
action starts at 1:53:22,
race restarts at 2:31:35
Maybe some material for @ozzymanreviews ?
Thanks, I didn't have a clue what was happening
“We’ve got a commentating challenge for you.” “Sure, I can make anything sound exciting!” ……😳
Please pass on to not use the music on the qually replays
So fucking funny!!! 1h 30min of hype and then these things just don’t even try to race 😂😂😂
1:48:33 is the race start if that’s what you wanna call it🤷♂️😂
This is the greatest sport yet i cant wait till theres loads like this ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ there gonna end up so fast
Could give for unpredictable and exciting racing, it seems abit emotionless and definitely needed more refinement before broadcasting it as an event but could be a decent spectacle
For the amount of time they have had they did pretty well. Give it 6 months and these things will be knocking on the door of 'real' driver's times
This is actually hilarious and I can’t believe it’s been put on such a platform without having a race behind closed doors first
Inaugural race,, let's give it some time,, I'm sure it will improve. Very cool cars and concept.
I completely understand that this is new Technology, and I completely understand there will be teething problems but there has to be so SO much more testing before this is broadcast. You've probably just killed this series before it even gets going.
And why oh why are we able to watch this mess, yet still completely unable to watch F1 Academy races live!
It was fantastic, and I can say it is funnier than F1 already. Pure engineering.
I still dont get it, why hype this to a race, when it is a science competition. Everything i have seen the last couple of days race, race, race, when i tune in STEM competition. Biggest clickbait event ever.
"Given the possibility, people will optimize the fun out of anything."
Interesting that an oil producing state is promoting autonomous vehicles ie electric as explained in the intro. Is smart move. Transition to future. I'm trying my best to not be resentful about driverless racing. I'm a Porsche track racer. I've seen this move coming for a long time. But where does it stop? Will humans compete physically at all in the future? People take the laziest route to progress save a few dedicated ones
Am I optimistic about the future if this? Yes. Am I dumbfounded that they seemed to do zero preseason testing? Again, yes
Here for the comments 😎
Just when you thought 2024 couldn't be worse
Wonderful technology, what an amazing job all these teams have achieved, I'm astonished 😲 And the progress margins are huge, I'm eager to see what they'll perform next year.
"Impressive Technology"
I was just thinking this is too slow until it dawned on me no one is driving these cars. Just code.
If they did a movie about this it would called
The Maldonator.
Hard to call it a race, but was cool and interesting to see the technology at work
Definitely need to get the speeds and action up.
I hope the A.I. doesn't learn the torpedo move
Cool how everyone ignores how complicated this is
Early days, lots of progress to come.
The cars need temp sensors for the wheels so the ai can weave to warm up. They coukd akso set up independent braking on front snd rear axle for instant brake balance adjustment.
Be interesting to see how this progresses.
Just needs a shorter video to cut out the down time.
Still more reliable to finish a race than Lance Stroll.
Best watched at 2x speed.
Full props to the teams. Someone has to be first.
Jamais jamais je regarderai une course de IA. La beauté des courses est qu'un humain métrise sa voiture et que la voiture soit aussi avec un moteur thermique...
Another Abu Dhabi gem, impressive presentation before the fact, absolutely shite in practice.
"The first fully-electronic anti-lock braking system was developed in the late-1960s for the Concorde aircraft. The modern ABS system was invented in 1971 by Mario Palazzetti (known as 'Mister ABS') in the Fiat Research Center and is now standard in almost every car."
I would watch a Siri vs Google assistant race. 😅
those team members look like they've never even driven a lawn tractor lol
The fireworks were the best bit
Just wasted precious time of my life I’ll never get back.
I literally fell asleep watching this
Would love to be part of one of those teams. Unfortunately there didn't exist anything like this back in my day.
Putting aside the desaster this event was, I think we're missing the point of motorsport.
The whole point of it is the relationship between human and machine, working together to push boundaries and create a spectacle. The human element is essential because it gives the whole thing a heroic aspect, it creates emotion that touches people. That's the beauty of sports, the emotion and passion people put into their craft and the fans who put their own emotions into it as well.
Putting some autonomous cars on a track and having them go around a few laps, even if they get close to the level of human drivers, will not be something people want to watch and cheer for.
Exactly, this is not much more exciting than watching a Roomba work. A CNC machine milling a complicated piece of aluminium is more satisfying.
grade A levels of corny
Why are they using GPS instead of visual learning? Why this approach? How can they go faster with gps?
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
That people like fireworks 🎇😂😂
put 2000 v10 f1 engines and they have something to watch
God, 2000 engines on one track?!
They should have the red Cylon Centurion "V" where the driver's head would be
It was a good experiement, not a race, a experiment
Lmfao this is not what I expected. It was fun to watch then crash into the wall going straight and stop to make sure the other cars are okay lol
What are they celebrating?
Appreciate the technology but seriously what is the point....
Which Corporations testing ops is this?
This was a rush job, AIs were clearly not trained enough. Matching a Formula driver is still miles off
At least no track limits controversy...
Still faster than Lance Stroll
Everything from 1:11:30 to 1:12:50 is just pure comedy
Nice 💥 fireworks!!!
Also, what’s with the fake crowd cheering noises at the end? Sounds like a full football stadium while 90% of the stands are empty…
Standard road cars have ESP & traction control, which could be seen as a fixed-function algorithm. If the wheel slips/slides, it brakes selectively and/or reduces power. Easy. But not so in A2RL, which just makes things unnecessarily complicated by using an ML-based algorithm instead (= *trial and error*, that's what learning is).
They should have invite me out in my stock Miata. That would have been fun.
Were any of the GPS issues at all related to the fact that there's generally a lot of GPS interference/jamming in the middle east occurring of late?
It's like you put 4 roborocks into a room to clean and at some point you'll get the "sorry human, I'm lost, return me to the dock" message and the last one standing somehow finishes and we all celebrate. Same shitshow 😂
The most enjoyable part of this were the youtube ads
Since there are no human pilots, there should be no limits on driving speed. I expect that over time these races will have cars going over 500 kms per hour.
A long way to go before it is actually competitive, but it could be good.
