Roborace is a series designed for artificial intelligence by the same people doing Formula E. The "cars" will be guided by software and will compete without drivers. Nvidia takes a big part on this as a key partner and this is the first time ever for a driveless car on the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
 
Personally I love motorsport, especially F1, WRC and Dakar. The roars and smells on a racetrack are unmatched, but I think it's a mistake to try to compare autonomous electric car racing with traditional motorsport. It's something completely different, a different concept. It remains to see how it goes, I'll give it a chance.

And Siemens is not a small company. So it's fun how so many minimize that Robocar like if the autonomous technology was a simple thing. The car is still slow, but at least flawless. Autonomous driving is not a new thing, but it's still in development, so I found this really interesting.

Calm down there bud, we havent even broke the 300 barrier yet

I'd like to see them build one that goes about 400 mph and race it around Spa. With driver safety a none issue, it could happen.

Cmon little guy, go faster! 

Stick a playing card in the spoke....basically the same thing

Yeah this was mostly likely a first run around the track. Hence the slow speed, but still
 
AS my car friends would say "Fuckin send it!"

I've already commented on Youtube, but I think this is a better place for honest feedback.
 
Sicereley, honestly, positively and kindly:
Having available one of the most interesting products in recent times, you have managed to make the laziest and less interesting video of all times. Usually I love your videos, but I can't this one. Really disappointing, and truly surprised, especially by the laziness/rush/apathy shown.
"Quadro M6000 video: check. NEXT!
You put way more effort on the giant pad for god sake, and I liked that video, at least was really fun to watch.
