Stanford builds robotic Audi for racing, robotic Volkswagen for parking

Posted on 10/27/09, in Technology 2 views

You can make a robotic car, and you can make a robotic car — and it looks like Stanford is leading the charge on the no compromises approach with its new driverless Audi TTS. That, of course, is only the latest in a long line of robotic cars from the folks at Stanford, and it looks like it’s also by far their most ambitious, as it’s going above and beyond the usual DARPA challenges in the hope of breaking a few records and winning a few races. In fact, the car apparently already holds the “unofficial” speed record for an automous car at 130 miles per hour and, in the long term, Stanford hopes that it’ll be able to complete the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, which stretches some twenty kilometers and includes no less than 156 turns.
