Hipster automobile racing is when you go to watch Formula 1 but there are no drivers in the cars. These robo cars are approaching the speeds of F1 cars and racing them is now a competitive event. Since there are no drivers in the cars, this seems a lot like parents watching their kids play sports ... when their kids are 'droids and run on batteries.
RT: Self-driving robot cars reach 186kph on racing debuts (PHOTOS, VIDEOS)
History was made in Buenos Aires last weekend when two driverless electric cars went head-to-head in the first competitive robot motor race. The event was part of the organizers’ aim to expand the sport's popularity with a worldwide rollout of Roborace.
In scenes more akin to a sci-fi movie the competing ‘Devbot’ machines reached top speeds of 186kph (115mph) before one of them lost control and ploughed into a barrier at the Argentinian Formula E, ePrix.

Kee-rist ... ePrix? How damn precious can you get without involving Apple or Milo Yiannopoulos.
The Rockhouse has one tiny question. How does a gigantic slot car lose control. Either its circuits fried in which case it was an electro-mechanical failure or the robo turned chicken.
Yves Montand once said, "Driving Formula 1 implies a certain lack of imagination." ("Grand Prix")
Ed: he didn't drive Formula 1!
He didn't except in the movie but he had enough imagination to know it's too dangerous for any sane person to consider.
Ed: so the premise is once robos have enough imagination to understand the danger of going so fast then they will slow down?
You're such a cracker, Dagwood. It's only logical, as you see. Even artificial intelligence won't willingly suffer its own destruction.
