Self-driving car race finishes with a crash

Fans attending Formula E’s Buenos Aires ePrix got a nice treat: the first ‘race’ between self-driving cars on a professional track, courtesy of a test from Roborace. Only… it didn’t quite go according to plan. Roborace’s two test vehicles (known as DevBots) battled it out on the circuit at a reasonably quick 115MPH, but one of the cars crashed after it took a turn too aggressively. The racing league was quick to tout the safety advantages of crashing autonomous cars (“no drivers were harmed”), but it’s clear that the tech is still rough around the edges.
