Link: In the first Autonomous Racing League race, the struggle was real

When it came time for the actual race, the lead racer, Polimove, spun out on the fourth of eight laps. The second car, Tum, passed it safely, but shortly after that, the event’s officials threw up a yellow flag. And since these are good AI drivers who obey the rules, the two behind Polimove stopped, unwilling to pass the spun-out yellow car. Racers aren’t supposed to pass each other during a caution lap, you see. About an hour after the first lap of A2RL began, the AI racers completed their eight-lap race. If you must know, Tum won. #
