Lol... and of course I completely forgot I left this running. But here are the results at a 10% mutation and 9 hours to work at it:

The designs are definitely more interesting than when I left this morning. The sad part though is that a lot of the cars being spawned now still can't climb the same steep slope in the middle of the race. I can see from the records though that a number of cars had gotten past that slope while I was gone.

Genetic algorithms are sweet and if the problem set is well formed can be very effective. This is a really interesting application. Thanks for the share kleinbl00
