AI racing market

As AI-controlled vehicles like Google's Self-Driving Car become more common, the person who gets to work fastest will be the one with the best algorithms. Your task is to create a competitive market in which members of the public can submit algorithms to see which is the best. You'll need to define a simple scripting language and API suitable for creating the entries. Users should be able to enter their script directly into an interactive game then see its performance in an actual real-time car race created with the Unity graphics engine and physics model. The best entries should be stored and ranked in a leader board, with new players able to see existing code and tweak it for better performance. In future, this kind of algorithm market could be applied to other problem domains such as finance.
