I can make this argument because there is one thing that hardware and software can never do. Emote.

Sure, they could simulate it. However, in a nutshell, the most influential aspect of an experience is neither through the physical sensations nor the body's observations. It is the awareness that the experience is truly reality versus a reality that is simulated. That awareness generates emotion.

The only exception would be a "Matrix" type reality, one in which a person was conceived and and born into virtual reality. And, yes there is the infinitesimal potential for the possibility, but as humans, we would never allow such a thing to occur. (I hope...) Oh, I don't know, I wouldn't be so categoric..

I mean, sure emotion are an important part of racing but i dunno if they can't be replicated. Maybe not today (or even tomorrow) and maybe not for a game such real racing (or any game at all) but all in all "awarness" and "emotion" are just electric and chemical synapses in human brain.. form this point of view they don't seem so hard to replicate..
