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."

    Sounds like a PERFECT time to unleash an autonomous racing vehicle.
