While Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen were racing for the Formula 1 title over the weekend, self-driving cars were fighting for the inaugural Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) championship. The Technical University of Munich (TUM) took the chequered flag at the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The contest was an impressive showcase of self-driving engineering, but it didn't convince me that AI will soon replace human race car drivers.
