AI Driver Trails Human F1 Racer
▶ Source – Ars Technica ▶ The Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL)’s autonomous race car, designed on a Super Formula chassis, demonstrated remarkable progress at Japan’s Suzuka Circuit, achieving speeds within eight seconds of F1 veteran Daniil Kvyat’s lap time. Despite a setback, the AI’s 90–95% human-equivalent performance highlights the potential of simulation-trained autonomous systems.
