The Indy Autonomous Challenge

  

A head-to-head high speed autonomous race.  Twenty laps of driverless cars at speeds up to 200 mph around the famous Indy oval, all racing for a million dollar prize.

 

It didn't turn out exactly as expected.  Based on two years of practice performance, they had to keep changing expectations.  In the end, they had nine cars make a total of eleven laps, one at a time.  Three of those laps resulted in crashes.

 

The idea of autonomous driving is awesome, but maybe not really ready to be a thing yet.
