We’re always looking for ways to innovate. Innovation helps save time, cut costs, and improve quality. So, in our constant pursuit to get better, we asked ourselves, “What can we automate?” Naturally, the first thing that came to mind is all the stuff that takes a human brain, and thus human time – time is money, after all.
This means taking a shot at automating Power Rankings – usually an expert-informed ranking of expected driver performance in the next race. Could a computer do a better job than a snarky, pun-obsessed human?
The stats in our new Power Automation Testing Beta (PAT Beta, for short) program are totally random and made up – they’ll be different every time you visit. Yeah, it’s maybe not quite as accurate as NASCAR’s Laser Inspection System – but, hey, at least we tried.
Please bear with us as we test out our new algorithm.
OK, maybe – maybe – our system isn’t quite ready for prime time. Perhaps some things just can’t be replaced by computers.
