Description

Motorsports: Sports that involve driver-operated land vehicles

Extinct: Disappear, to be replaced

Car/motorcycle industry: Industries that could, while not necessarily includes the production of cars and motorcycles, and generally refers to industries that fuels the medium of the present-day vehicles and motorsports(Including tuners, internal-combustion engine suppliers, etc) and generally does not partake in the planned wave of new forms of transportation(Such as flying cars, hyperloop, etc) that will replace the present forms of transportations, especially ones eligible to be used in general motorsports.

Advanced forms of transportation: Transportation that are more advanced than the forms used in the present, and is hypothetically/planned to be used in the future and has a very high tendency of replacing the present-day forms of transportation.

Present-day style: Forms of a spanned subject that is currently being utilized by the world

B_O_P(PRO): Present-day style motorsports will not go extinct even if more advanced forms of transportation replace the car/motorcycle industry

CON: PRO did not sufficiently prove his case

Thinkong robots. What are you even referring to?

What happens when two literally thinkong robots collide? Theg agree on AI demolishing everything u til the universe ends and that therefore cars will go extinct... Lovely logic.

I just don't think I can sufficiently prove my BOP after that. What I proved is that it is more likely to not disappear until the present modes of transportation has been replaced, but I do not know the future.

The context is “will not go extinct.” Consider heat death evidence showing all things go extinct eventually.

The heat death of the universe IMO is not something within the implied scope of the debate.

Skimming the first half of R1, I'd say pro has a shot at this.
