I’d like to see a competition between autonomous driving vehicles on some sort of track.  Something like an AI-500.  Let’s see what they can do in this kind of situation.  Let’s see what that does for their autonomy.

Probably be best if a variety of manufacturers are participating in the competition.

Must have something like the flag system for signaling to the vehicles concerning course conditions.  Perhaps a course boundary that shows the various signals all around the track (a yellow boundary for a yellow flag which I believe is traditionally an accident on the course).

Cars that incorporate IR (see my previous article) may have some advantages in anticipating what the other vehicles are doing on the course.
