    I’d like to know what race car drivers think of this and also are people going to fill the stands to watch this type of racing?

      They’ll be filled by ro bots ????

      Most love it, they understand how difficult it is to drive a race car fast. Others believe this is going to replace them(which it won’t) and get defensive about it

    Finally something bigger and hopefully more successful than RoboRace!

    Now for fun for 1 million dollar in 10 years is for war and take other country. Basicly is just like Terminator movie.

    I’m just back from a necessary 2500 mile road trip. Anything that removes the humans from driving cannot come fast enough, mostly for safety but also because driving sucks 99% of the time. Getting these incompetent, selfish, insane a$$ho1es off the road will be the best thing to happen to transportation since radial tires

    No human behind wheel. That will get boring eventually and it will die out. Ppl like drama and if technically is perfect than its gonna be boring

    How do you make Indy or Nascar more boring? This or this with electric racing cars. (Notice what team won, which they downplayed.)

    • jonathan Villagomez

      This video was to showcase what they’re doing with the technology. The main focus wasn’t on the teams although they do play a major part.

    • UhhhOhNoo0oo0OoOoo0oo0oO0

      May 20, 2023 at 8:53 pm

      @jonathan Villagomez  I ascertained that. Thank you for explaining it to someone with two PhDs from one of the highest ranked colleges in the world. I know you didn’t know. It’s called a joke. This is just so corporations can get cheap technology advances. Offer a prize and have others do, wgst they can’t. Now, if the teams had their own hardware, that’s an entirely different story. It behooves one to watch out because then major money would funnel in for even more profit.

    Maybe now racing technology can actually advance once again. It has been 30 years since race sanctioning bodies decided race cars couldn’t go any faster in the name of human driver safety.

    Correction: The first Indy Autonomous Challenge in Indianapolis had a payout of $1million, not the one at CES that we visited.

This new way of treating depression starts with rewiring the brain #TEDTalks

The idea that depression comes from a chemical imbalance in the brain has shaped treatment for decades. Neuroscientist Lisa Monteggia shares research suggesting that’s not the whole story — and shows how a decades-old drug could upend what we thought we knew about depression, with the potential to offer relief within hours.

What if science class felt less like studying out of a textbook and more like an unforgettable field trip? From viral glitter-bomb traps to backyard engineering marvels, former-NASA-engineer-turned-YouTuber Mark Rober has spent years proving that curiosity is contagious — and that the best way to teach science is to make it impossibly fun. In conversation with TED’s Whitney Pennington Rodgers, Rober shares how play, wonder and a healthy dose of mischief can transform the way kids learn … and gives a peek inside his plan to bring magic to every classroom in America. (This conversation was part of an exclusive TED Membership event. TED Membership is the best way to support and engage with the big ideas you love from TED. To learn more, visit ted.com/membership.)
