Biome and Silver Lightning were mainly design study concept first and foremost - the tech between those Mercedes concepts were just flavor text.

Torq I do agree with, and the author of the post even included it. ED Design wanted to release a self-driving race car in "late 2010s" and it's 2017 already. The FIA does have another idea for self-driving racing series called the Roborace (Google it), however.
