'An series for driverless electric cars is to support Formula E in the third season'

err... what?

Apparently they are going to have 10 teams of 20 cars (i will believe that when I see it) that 'race' in ONE HOUR long races for driverless cars going round as a support race for Formula E. I like formula E but I literally cannot think of anything more dull than this, and can;t quite believe its real. I don't get what sporting appeal this has at all in any way.
