The first ever self-driving car race ended in a crash

For the first time ever, self-driving race cars zoomed through a course in public, with impressive (well, for one of them, anyway) results. Roborace, the self-driving racing series Formula E announced in 2015, made history with its first public trial race at the Buenos Aires ePrix last weekend. The two competitors: Devbots 1 and 2, which raced each other in a sprint around the Puerto Madero street circuit. Roborace says the winning Devbot 1 hit a top speed of 186 kph (115 mph) during the contest. Formula E's normal manned cars can reach about 225 kph (140 mph), not waaay faster than the self-driving car.
