Robotic Audi To Brave Pikes Peak Without a Driver

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the zoom-zoom-splat dept.

Scifi83 writes "A team of researchers at the Center for Automotive Research at Stanford (CARS) has filled the trunk of an Audi TTS with computers and GPS receivers, transforming it into a vehicle that drives itself. The car will attempt Pikes Peak without a driver at race speeds, something that's never been done."

    Doesn't it suck? I remember teaching my younger sister how to drive. She was particularly good for her age... and for being a female.. (sorry, but it's true). I would've rather driven with her than most of my friends/family who were driving for years.

    I always said to her: Don't think I'm nitpicking and being annoying, it isn't you I don't trust, it's the rest of the world.

    Well, you see the Al Gore isms are only useful to Al Gore as he has copyright on them. Things like:

    I invented the internet.
    I am still green because I buy carbon credits.
    An inconvenient truth

    And other Al Gore isms all must be either attributed or licensed from Al.
