Step 1: Activate launch control
Step 2: Hang on!

Makes me wonder if in 5 years, 10 years, will we even be physically in the cars we race? The engineering is incredible and the cars we produce achieve mind-blowing results. But the driving itself in drag races such as this is pretty much pre-programmed.

Probably in 20 years, once selfdriving cars are raced, what's the point in having humans in them. For that matter, why have a physical car anyway, just race virtual race cars. Kind of like having 2 computers play chess together. My computer is smarter than yours.
It is illegal to race your horse on a public road in most places. Self parking cars. Ford is gearing their production for a ride sharing public. Times change.
I think the downfall of the automobile started with invention of the automatic spark advance, probably sooner, but that was, and still is, a pretty big driver's aid.

While great as this technology may be, it will also be the end of many jobs that are associated with the automotive industry. The visceral feeling we get with "analog" cars will be a thing of the past. Fake exhaust sound will be possible by downloading an app to your car..heck depress the throttle and your car would play your favorite tune instead of an exhaust sound. It's like an extension to your cell phone...except with wheels on it...I'll pass..next invention will be a robot that works out at the gym..while you lose weight and gain muscle...wait.. I might actually like that one...lol
