Much like autonomy on our roads, autonomy on our race tracks feels inevitable. It"s probably likely to happen far sooner, too, given there are no roundabouts, four-way junctions or tricky regulations for the computers to learn.With that settled, it"s time to decide what form driverless racecars should take. Losing the need to house and cocoon a full person naturally gives designers a chance to free their imaginations more than normal, and what we"ve got so far is Roborace, which will support the electric Formula E series in the near future.The Roboracer"s design is certainly unconventional, with its wheel arches its highest point and a uniform height to the bulk of the car. That"s possible without a cockpit, but it does make it a little tricky to get our heads around after over a century of car-shape convention. So what you see above is an alternative. Meet the N.01 Autonomous Race Car Concept.
