Driverless cars crash at 155 mph in autonomous race

An autonomous race on a notoriously difficult Formula 1 track ended with only two of five driverless cars finishing, after crashes at speeds of up to 155 mph. Commentators argue the wrecks are valuable: they expose how autonomous systems cope with blind corners, sensor failures and physics, and push the technology to improve through real-world failure rather than simulation.

Why now: Crashes at racing speeds show the current limits of autonomous driving technology and spark debate over whether failure is progress.
