Self-driving car hilariously crashes into wall during Twitch broadcast RoboraceDuring the Roborace Season Beta event being streamed on Twitch, which pits multiple teams operating \u201cself-driving\u201d cars against each other in an augmented reality experience, one of the cars crashed in an unfortunate, but ultimately hilarious, fashion. If you never heard of Roborace, you\u2019re probably not the only one. The AI-focused racing experience has only been around for a few years now and while it\u2019s certainly entertaining, it hasn\u2019t quite hit the mainstream just yet in the same way that something like Formula 1 racing has. Despite this, Season Beta of the aforementioned competition is currently underway and is being streamed on Twitch for the world to see. Of course, it wouldn\u2019t be a race without some spectacular crashes and one happened in an absolutely hilarious fashion on October 29. Roborace is the world first driver-less\/autonomous motorsports category. This is one of their first live-broadcasted events. This was the second run. It drove straight into a wall. pic.twitter.com\/ss5R2YVRi3 \u2014 Ryan (@dogryan100) October 29, 2020 During the second day of the Season Beta race, Acronis SIT Autonomous\u2019s DevBot 2.0 car took an abrupt sharp turn directly into a wall immediately after being at a standstill, leading to an unfortunate, albeit hilarious moment during the race. Unfortunately, the camera cuts away before we can see the reaction of the operators, although it\u2019s hard to imagine that they wouldn\u2019t be a little annoyed at that immediate outcome. While it\u2019s currently unknown what the estimated price is for the DevBot 2.0, as they\u2019re all produced specifically by Roborace, this little crash probably just cost the team a lot of money. WHATTT \ud83d\ude2d It’s live https:\/\/t.co\/LOFjjjXKkL pic.twitter.com\/Jz5mxclmH5 \u2014 Roborace (@roborace) October 29, 2020 The DevBot 2.0 uses Nvidia\u2019s DRIVE platform to operate, which allows artificial intelligence to take over driving the fully electric car, as it races through an augmented reality track. As the name suggests, this is the second iteration to use the name and is being used by all teams during Season Beta. It\u2019s unknown whether this error was due to a technical error or was down to the \u201coperators\u201d. If fans are interested in Roborace, Season Beta is set to continue until October 30, and will be streamed on the competition\u2019s official Twitch channel the whole time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
