The world of car racing is set to get a futuristic update with the unveiling of the world’s first driverless electric race car.
Roborace revealed the stunning vehicle, dubbed ‘Robocar’ today at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Two of the Robocars will go head to head in a race later this year, setting up the potential for a race series dedicated to driverless cars.

The car is the brainchild of Mr Simon, an automotive futurist who creates vehicles for Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters, including Tron Legacy and Oblivian.
The Robocar weighs 975 kilograms, and measures 4.8 metres long and two metres wide.
Four motors, each with 300kW and a 540kW battery allow the car to reach dizzy speeds of over 200 mph (320km/h).
A number of technologies allow the car to ‘drive’ without a driver, including five lidars, two radars, 18 ultrasonic sensors, two optical speed sensors and six AI cameras.
