A landmark race between two driverless electric cars has ended badly for one of the contestants.

The unfortunate Devbot vehicle crashed out of the Roborace competition after misjudging a corner while travelling at high speed.....

I'd love to see several of these cars racing against each other.

Im excited for self driving cars. I think its the cure for grid-lock traffic. When there are no trash human drivers, then there is no traffic. Good days comin!

But anyways, we've got a ways to go

Maybe they don't know about the existence of crash test dummies.... but then that guy qualifies as one.
