But I don't see how it changes the regular racing either. If you don't keep it in check the competition will shift to who can write better autopilot software, which if the only variable is "other racing cars" is pretty simple compared to real world streets.
Again, the analogy is broken. Automatic transmission, autopilot help, these things will help win the race, but creating good software is a bit different from "who can type faster".
Time attack is a type of race.
