TED: The future race car -- 150mph, and no driver | Chris Gerdes

The video explores the evolution and future of autonomous vehicles, highlighting Stanford's work on robotic race cars. It compares human drivers to autonomous cars, emphasizing the need for autonomous vehicles to match human capabilities. The video delves into neuroscience research on racecar drivers, revealing that many driving feats are instinctive. It suggests that future autonomous vehicles could benefit from incorporating human-like reflexive actions, potentially transforming cars into partners or coaches rather than mere chauffeurs.
