Racing and street driving are completely different. Racing involves detailed knowledge of vehicle dynamics and grip. Street driving is mainly obstacle recognition and avoidance. No waymo ever operates anywhere close to the limit of grip, which is where you are all the time when racing.

Sure but accident avoidance in sim racing is basically the ultimate test for any driver.

I also said it wouldn’t matter if they’re fast, I don’t care about driving at the limit of grip here, just avoiding accidents.
