Now I know why the jupiterians are so careful and the mercurians too agresives!

Is not possible to imagine, in the future, that the data can go from one driver computer to other driver computer without the need to go throw the hoster computer?
This way the uncertainty becomes near half of the actual.

@ Riches

I can predict YOUR world will end tomorrow – just keep pushing how late you can brake into #1 and my prediction will come true. And I don’t even need a computer to do it.

(Predictable driving EQUALS reasonable certainty in predicting location.)

~IS MUCH BETTER THAN~

(No prediction TIMES 0 confidence in driving on track with anyone further than a block away EQUALS Useless simulation of racing with remote human competition)

That’s why we need to get rid of the damn prediction, and only count when incidents occur on both clients involved.
Close racing is sometimes almost impossible when 2 clients are half a world apart.
I can predict the world will end tomorrow… is that the truth?

I don’t see how one can truly be concerned with this and still manage to focus and race. I just strive to keep it clean as best I can.

Nice article Ray. I wonder what percentage of online drivers really understand why you can’t run as close to other drivers online as in real life. Real life doesn’t have 1/2 second prediction code… A lot of ground can be covered in 1/2 second, especially under braking. Cars travel 144 feet while going 100mph in 1 second. 72 feet in a half a second. Online drivers need to stop trying to emulate tv and give more room online.
