Watch a self-driving Roborace car drive directly into a wall
This Hypercar is Such a Tease
If you’re wondering why there doesn’t seem to be any room for you in this far-out automotive concept, that’s because… there isn’t. Dubbed the Roborace Challenge Kyoto, the design has been imagined for autonomous racing. Essentially, it’s a giant battery on wheels with a low-slung profile and slick exterior shell. No doubt fun to watch on the raceway. The only downside? None of us are invited on board!
Designers: Maxime Devauchelle & Clément Alliot

Daniel Simon’s robot racecar!
Does the name Daniel Simon sound familiar? Well it better! He’s only the most iconic modern transportation concept designer there is! You’ll have seen his work in TRON: Egacy, Obliviin, and Captain America to name a few sources. Here’s his latest venture.
Roborace partnered with legendary designer Daniel Simon to design their driverless race car. Quite the opposite in terms of this Audi’s outlook, this car actually believes the future of formula racing Will be completely autonomous, where algorithms battle to win races.
The styling of the car blends functional, with futuristic, and a signature Daniel Simon touch. The lack of a traditional cockpit changes the way the car is perceived, allowing it to be flatter at the center, making space for a lot of AI and cameras/sensors. The 199mph car is also designed with a surplus of air intake vents, allowing the internal hardware to stay cool, because hey, racing can be stressful for artificial intelligence too!
