Seconded. They can just have the bench as a special programme thing that only happens when Tom's gone and done a thing, and would like to talk about that thing.
I've never been on a track before either, but I know that there is such a thing as a racing line. You can watch F1 and know about it. Also, there are really accurate racing games these days.
Kamel Fakih you can (given the proper knowledge to the physiks and math behind that) work theoretically the perfect racing line out, but if your hands, feet and brain in a real car would be able to do this perfect is something different.
This is kinda weird to see. I’ve watched countless formula 1, gt3, and many other series race around this track and, obviously, this looks painfully slow, but Tim’s reaction tell such a different story. It really is a testament to the skill, speed, and physical prowess of race drivers. The sheer acceleration and g forces experienced in Motorsport is just mind boggling.
comeberza That’s because “kph” makes no sense whatsoever. It doesn’t contain an actual unit, apart from h[our]! The correct way to write is km/h. You need that little “meter” length unit in there.
“... designed to take a human passenger.” *Tom gestures at himself* How are we supposed to believe you are a human? Didn’t quite see you tick an “I’m not a robot” box there!

By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the car from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the car is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the car must also know where it was. The car guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

The tech is truly unbelieveable, and the progress this team has made since the strat of this journey is insane.

That´s what makes us love this wonderful sport. Roborace as a testing ground will be great. As a sport I really doubt it´ll succeed
Motor sports, or basically any sport which is done for entertainment reason gets interesting because of the human element in it, we are not perfect we do make mistakes, and thats why its way more interesting than some robots racing on a track. Take it one step further and you could just simulate it altogether, no need to have an actual car at all..
I agree. This looks interesting and it would be fun to be a part of it with many teams racing. That being said, I watch F1 but I would probably never watch this.
But these cars can make mistakes, because they are programed by people. Things like the location of the other cars are not predicable. I will though prefer pit views instead of the track view.

If you like that sound, I'd suggest go watching a Formula E race. They're even more insane. All of this past season's races are on RUclips if I'm not mistaken.
That looks like a normal amount of micro corrections to make while driving. The track isn't perfectly flat or uniformly grippy, the wheels and suspension aren't perfect... I'd expect the steering to constantly compensate a little.
I totally agree with tom at the end. There is no joy, passion or risk in a robot setting perfect times with perfect racing lines. The reason that the racing champions become champions is because they are the best and have worked hard, and a few uni students shouldn't take all that hard work away with a few algorithms and logics in an automated vehicle
The moment they started talking about making it interesting even though there aren't people in the cars, I started thinking about the logistics of safely putting weapons on the cars.
...if there are weapons on the cars, then the threshold for how interesting it actually needs to be will also be increased tenfold to cover the constant replacement costs created by those weapons, unfortunately.

"Would you like to be driven around one of the most famous tracks in Britain by a computer? ...Sure." It's silly, but it felt so wrong to have it not be the oft-spoken "Yes. Yes I would."
I think you summed up the analysis really well... The "sport" aspect of it is a means to an end with the end being better software and systems for commercial autonomous vehicles and possibly as a side benefit, improving AI competitors or predictive models designed to overcome netcode issues in Racing Games. Outside of that, I don't see it being anymore than a niche sport with extremely narrow reach.
Add harpoons or some less damaging version to make races more interesting, or virtual missiles , shooter gets points, the victim gets penalty, but only when the car takes perfect shot
I do racing in my spare time and I struggle to see how this could be turned into a successful spectator sport. There's nothing interesting about watching a field of cars all designed to race perfectly with no humans involved. It's no different to lining up a group of computers and seeing which one can compute something the fastest, interesting yes, a spectator sport? No.
Oliver Levine have you ever flown a drone? One way to use a drone is to set GPS waypoints, and allow the drone to fly between them however it chooses, and another way is to have it lock on to something and follow it, again making its own decisions about how/where to fly to avoid tree branches and the like. Yes, the software in the race car is more sophisticated than typical consumer drone software, but I see no difference in level of autonomy or anything else that makes the car “not a drone”.

perfect would've been on the red/white on the inside of the corner and the car should've straightened out faster.
Gran Turismo?
Dungeon 50 you don’t have to have been on a racetrack to know what a perfect racing line is, smart ass.
"And that meant ... the car hit the wall"
Oooookay.

It’s sad that Roborace got discontinued. It was such a unique idea.
I quite like this "I got an email/invitation" series. I love how Tom gets to have tons of fun with it.
Tom's rocking that look in the suit
*"OH THAT IS A PERFECT RACING LINE!"*
Tom:
Also, that thing sounds like a fookin SPACE SHIP, MATE! XD
If you like that sound, I'd suggest go watching a Formula E race. They're even more insane. All of this past season's races are on RUclips if I'm not mistaken.

It really sounds like a passing tie fighter!
“Perfect racing line”
Car: *misses apex by 2 metres*
fookin daveo to the rescue
It's kind of funny seeing Tom in the driver's seat of what looks like an LMP1 car taking a racing line around Silverstone.
the steering algorythim needs some pid tuning
it's oscillating around the optimum
That looks like a normal amount of micro corrections to make while driving. The track isn't perfectly flat or uniformly grippy, the wheels and suspension aren't perfect... I'd expect the steering to constantly compensate a little.
"Jesus, take the wheel!"
Just got out of school and this is how I am spend my time I am happy thanks tom
Nice
Tom has THE MOST RANDOM videos out of nowhere and I love it :>
Random content, perfect upload schedule!
super underrated youtuber
I totally agree with tom at the end. There is no joy, passion or risk in a robot setting perfect times with perfect racing lines. The reason that the racing champions become champions is because they are the best and have worked hard, and a few uni students shouldn't take all that hard work away with a few algorithms and logics in an automated vehicle
3:08 "We had a hardware fai-" * video loads *
you dont say
Who is this Tom Scott look a like? Is this a parody? Is this one of those AI face swaps? I know it ain't the real Tom because there was no red shirt!
Tom's tone in the intro is just like: You know what, I'm just beyond being surprised by stuff now 😂
“70 kilograms of wet meat” is the best description of a human I have heard so far, Tom.
Tom scott. Fear of rollercoasters. Gets into an autonomous robot car that can go to 60 kph.

I see you've picked some things up from Michael Reeves, eh?
I 100% heard him saying "DeathBot" so I turned on closed captioning to figure it is called "DevBot".
The fact that the car is sponsored by TikTok makes me question whether the car is safe
Does the car itself get banned by the USA too?
Eh dont go hard on these blokes for taking that sponsorship , they needed that money.

Battlebots is fairly successful. Allow the cars to hit each other and it would get interesting very quickly.
That racing suit is totally badass!

A real tragedy
One of these for an offroad or rally race would be incredible
I feel like Land Rover could be working on something like this idea.
That long Red and Grey building is my secondary school, they specialise in High Performance Engineering
The moment they started talking about making it interesting even though there aren't people in the cars, I started thinking about the logistics of safely putting weapons on the cars.
I'm reminded of the old DOS game, Deathtrack. Caltrops, mines and terminators...
...if there are weapons on the cars, then the threshold for how interesting it actually needs to be will also be increased tenfold to cover the constant replacement costs created by those weapons, unfortunately.
I like how this guy thinks.
@@neolexiousneolexian6079 They're already using artificial drivers, why not artificial weapons. Computers calculate the damage and use a system to make the cosmetics changes with some light shows and the like for the watchers

"Would you like to be driven around one of the most famous tracks in Britain by a computer? ...Sure."
It's silly, but it felt so wrong to have it not be the oft-spoken "Yes. Yes I would."
Tom you have the perfect job, people invite you to get driven around a race track like nobody's business
The car knows where it is, because it knows where it isn't...
I swear if that car starts doing the "ahegao" face and being all quirky, I will start a riot at Tik Tok HQ.
I Googled ahegao and I now want to bleach my eyes

You've been driven by a fully autonomous car before, I swear! It was one of those small open golf-cart like things!
0:16 That is an unfortunate last name
I think you summed up the analysis really well... The "sport" aspect of it is a means to an end with the end being better software and systems for commercial autonomous vehicles and possibly as a side benefit, improving AI competitors or predictive models designed to overcome netcode issues in Racing Games. Outside of that, I don't see it being anymore than a niche sport with extremely narrow reach.
So this is essentially like a TAS to real life racing?
my thought exactly
So we will Do a jump boost flying over this chekpoint and glitch our way too the end
No, because it does adjustments while it's driving rather than being programmed frame-by-frame, or ms-by-ms in this case.
@@kakeergodt4609 doing any% while everyone else is going for 100% no major glitches
infinitelyExplosive So we're teaching the computer to do its own TAS?

"THANKS, BONO! THESE REALLY ARE THE BEST FANS!"
So jealous, Tom, you have the best job ever.
Add harpoons or some less damaging version to make races more interesting, or virtual missiles , shooter gets points, the victim gets penalty, but only when the car takes perfect shot
I do racing in my spare time and I struggle to see how this could be turned into a successful spectator sport. There's nothing interesting about watching a field of cars all designed to race perfectly with no humans involved. It's no different to lining up a group of computers and seeing which one can compute something the fastest, interesting yes, a spectator sport? No.

When you showed the passenger-less version, I was just thinking, well done you've now just created a drone.
Absolutely not. A drone is nothing more clever than a big remote control toy. This makes it's own decisions, and races without a human in the loop.
Oliver Levine have you ever flown a drone? One way to use a drone is to set GPS waypoints, and allow the drone to fly between them however it chooses, and another way is to have it lock on to something and follow it, again making its own decisions about how/where to fly to avoid tree branches and the like. Yes, the software in the race car is more sophisticated than typical consumer drone software, but I see no difference in level of autonomy or anything else that makes the car “not a drone”.
If the cars don't fight each other or spectacularly crash and blow up, I don't think it'll catch on.
We say no to pay to win Given your avatar pic, I’m not surprised in the slightest.
The car knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn’t from where it is, it obtains a difference or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the car from a position where it is to a position where it isn't and arriving at a position that it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation. The variation being the difference between where the car is and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GPS. However, the car must also know where it was. The car guidance computer scenario works as follows: Because a variation has modified some of the information that the car has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa. And by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.
There’s one way of making the business model better, move most of the profit into selling tickets for customers to sit in the car during a race.
