Racing is the impetus for developing and testing many new automotive technologies. Autonomous vehicles are already a reality but many people (myself included) don’t trust the technology (yet). By getting fully autonomous race cars into the mainstream, it will lead to public trust of the technology. This is about more than the specticle of racing, it is more about pushing the boundaries of autonomous vehicles in a controlled yet extreme environment. This has the potential to set some amazing track records... robots have no fear and can truely explore the limits of grip.
