Autonomous Audi TTS ascends Pikes Peak without a driver

The autonomous Audi research car, a joint project involving the Audi Electronics Research Lab, Stanford University and Oracle, completed a non-stop ascent up the legendary 12.42-mile rally race route in September 2010. The results certified by organizers of Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Motivation for the research is to develop technologies that could help motorists steer their way out of severe danger.
