Formula One would be amazingly awesome when we finally get rid of that requirement to have a biological mass behing the steering wheel.

Amazing? Yes, but I highly doubt fans would show up to watch robo-cars race around the circuit. Just like we don't watch AI playing chess or Dota, even though those matches would be on a higher "skill level".

Unfortunately, programming computers is not a performance art.

Hm, I don't know about that. Chess match game reviews of AI vs AI games are some of my favorites because their strategies are so insane.

> but I highly doubt fans would show up to watch robo-cars race

you must be talking about humans. AIs may show up to watch robo-cars races.

So far so good

Have you seen any footage from Ukraine? It's already pretty brutal.

I wrote "brutal on a whole new level" anticipating exactly this comment.

And these systems will absolutely emerge there if the war lasts long enough.
