Roborace will be a
championship, actually is still under development, where we will see driverless autonomous cars racing one another on Fia Formula-E racetracks. Roborace has a YouTube channel where it is documenting the
development of their prototype the DevBot. Lately for the first time
they released the footage of a lap inside the cabin of the vehicle.
Only the development prototype has this cabin which can be used
accommodate one person, just in case they need to check that everything
is ok, the actual race cars will not have it. The prototype was raced at Berlin
E-Prix where it did, at first, a lap in "explorer mode" to get to know
the circuit before it started going for the high speed laps. The
speed was increase gradually until it reached speeds up to 200 km/h (which is the lap that we see in the video).
Personally i think this races will be more "fun" for the
engineers behind them than for the actual spectators however it's still
exciting to see that racing is getting and more closer to what we
see in Sci-fi movies.
