The future is here, and its name is Robocar

Roborace finally unveiled Robocar, the first electric autonomous race car, and it looks every bit as futuristic as one would imagine.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

It weighs less than a 2017 Mazda MX-5, and it'll hit over 200 mph.

Nvidia's Drive PX2 computer will be responsible for crunching all that data.

Roborace will provide the cars themselves, but it will be up to each individual team to provide the software that will get the cars around the track.

There's no space for a driver -- if the software doesn't work, the car won't compete.

I don't believe it's capable of taking over humanity, which is nice.
