So now there are 3 April Fool's jokes? This, Chrome multitasking and 8-bit game cartridge Google Maps?

Wow, this really looks like it might be another "gmail" in that it's such a ridiculously awesome thing that releasing it on April 1st will keep everyone guessing if its actually real.
I realize this is probably an April Fools' prank, but I'm guessing that a race around a fixed track would actually be a great way to test autonomous cars: you don't need to worry about pedestrians, bicyclists, stoplights, pets, traffic laws, etc; all you have to do is focus on driving and turning at high speeds, and on the other cars on the track.

I don't know. How often do you drive a car without having to worry about pedestrians, cyclists, stoplights or traffic laws? If I'm going to test an autonomous car, I'm going to do mimic real-world situations in my test environment.
Edit: I would totally pay to see autonomous robots race on a track without the limitations of human drivers.
I've actually driven on a track (once) and it's surprisingly different/difficult.

Unfortunately, looks like it's definitely an April Fools Joke. (The "Interested parties" section under Future Uses seems intentionally creepy.)
Usage of NASCAR trademarks, hosting videos, and even linking to the video on their homepage.
I'm more inclined to believe that it's real. But I've fallen for more Google April Fool's jokes then I'd care to admit.
