Robotic race car does exactly what race cars aren't supposed to do – IAM Network

Roborace is a fledgling motorsports series using autonomous racecars, and its beta season is currently being carried out. One of the cars spontaneously decided to drive into a wall from a standstill. It's unclear why the car crashed, but since it had no human driver, nobody was injured. The robot apocalypse is coming… eventually. Well, maybe robots won't actually take over the world one day, but the potential is certainly there, and we've already seen how robotic systems can completely take over tasks normally assigned to humans, especially in manufacturing and even driving cars.
