You"ve met DevBot, haven"t you? The driverless development vehicle for Formula E"s upcoming autonomous series Roborace? Well, if you haven"t, prepared to have your mushy mind blown. See, unlike traditional racing where us puny, fleshy humans sweat it out to be the fastest around a race track, the future of racing will be a battle of algorithms, not of drivers. Roborace will see twenty identical cars run different software from rival teams and duke it out on track with no one behind the wheel. The proposed cars look, as you"d expect, quite futuristic. It"s the work of Daniel Simon, a man whose past includes the creation of the futuristic vehicles in the Hollywood blockbuster Tron: Legacy.
