I almost thought for a second that it would be an all self-driving Tesla race. How cool would that be! I personally would trust way more self driving cars when they reach that level of awesomeness. Not to say that I wouldn’t happily for self-driving car immediately.

Well there's Roborace https://roborace.com

Its funny that they're doing this with full-scale vehicles. I think a smaller scale would be more accessible to smaller and therefore more teams. It would also mean that a team could take more risks - imagine an 'unlimited' class that just specifies max dimensions and weight (and maybe allowed power source). That would be fun to watch I think.

After the steroid controversy I want to see an unlimited robot baseball league where anything goes but keep the equipment (bat, ball, bases) the same.

Now I imagined that, since the first human-like robots are expected to be "self-driving" sex toys, there will be endless awkward situations emerging from in-field software failures.
