A short clip of what is possibly the world’s first fully autonomous hight-speed overtake which happened during the 4th F1/10 International Autonomous Racing Competition that I organized in Montreal this year.
The winning team set a fastest lap time of 11.5 seconds in a track roughly 150ft in total length, hitting an average speed of about 12mph with a fastest speed toughing 16-17mph briefly.
This is the future of motorsport racing :)

Just saw this. If they indeed got it right then this could be groundbreaking ! However, I didn't see any working prototypes in the pitch. Clever idea though.
So where is the liquid water coming from ? and as per the article if the evidence suggests that water would have flowed just 'days' before, is it in the realm of possibility to detect actual water from MRO ?
> “There are two basic origins for the water: from above or from below,” Dr. McEwen said. The perchlorates could be acting like a sponge, absorbing moisture out of the air... The other possibility is underground aquifers, frozen solid during winter, melting during summer and seeping to the surface.
Although "rain"/humidity is unlikely, the article also discusses why it can still be considered a possibility since we don't have good humidity measurements at the surface.
