Lol, MIT fail!  Cornell FTW

@thyferra2680 Hard to argue this was a true failure, since no damage was done to either car, and neither was disqualified. Just a low-speed fender bender.

fail

But neither vehicle was disqualified. Teenage human drivers usually have higher-speed collisions.

I'd say that this shows just how advanced AI is.

Not only can it park, it can sabotage other AIs in order to make itself look better. Next they'll just need to program it to do this surreptitiously.

@hyretech Oh, sure, but at the same time, I'm from Cornell, and I gotta throw my support where it's needed. XD

This looks pretty cool, was this the only wreck in the competition?
