Thing with ai simracers is that they numerically select their inputs, I wouldn’t call them drivers but they’re more an algorithm to figure out the ideal line and inputs.

Apparently abuse of track limits is their forte.
I haven’t paid attention but it appears that they have put SOPHY into the game.

When you consider the F1 is mostly an engineering exercise… it makes sense.
Plus autonomy is going to be more prevalent in road going cars…. A college program based on karts seems like a relatively inexpensive way to develop and understand what’s involved to make that happen.
I think it’s OK to like both. I like driving but building an autonomous vehicle sounds like a LOT of fun.
If you think about it, AI opens the door for entertaining racing, video game style. With no one to get hurt why not arm the cars somehow in a battle-bot style? Demolition derby type stuff.
