The world’s first AI driverless race cars will race in their own series

It’s official: driverless cars have hit the race tracks.

Roborace, the autonomous race car maker, had its two self-driving ‘DevBots’ compete against each other at the Formula E Buenos Aires ePrix.

The race didn’t go without its own surprises: One car had to dodge a random dog that ended up on the race track, and the other ended up hitting a barrier, unable to finish the race.

Roborace’s self-driving car races will take place at Formula E events throughout 2017. All cars competing will be made identically. The only difference is their deep learning algorithm.
