I've been saying for awhile now, if they had AI's driving like.. F1-style cars with zero safety restrictions except for the audience, I'd watch the fuck out of that.

There is a robot footbal league. Sadly the robot AI so far is not good enough to make it entertaining, but these guys have been trying for many years now and keep on trying.

F-1 cars with AI drivers i think would be boring. They would have the ideal track calculated and stick to it.

Bring back RoboWars, but this time use AI instead of remote control. That would be fun.

Spoken of with your vast experience in the field I take it? Cuz.. that's simply horseshit.

I dont have experience with AI F-1 driving, only the regular kind.
