History Made: For the First time ever, A Driverless Car beat a Race Car Driver by TechyGirl(f): 9:01pm On Feb 18, 2015
Who remembers that Bank PHB advert where they said Cars would drive themselves and run on water? It was aired in the year 2013. Now guess what? that dream has finally come to pass.

Some researchers at Stanford university developed an Audi TTS that drives on its own, the car's performance was mind blowing so they paired it against a race car that was driven by an amateur touring class champion. To my amazement, the Driveless car actually beat the race car's ass with an impressive gap.

The group of Scientist that created this amazing innovation said that in order to achieve what they did, they had to study the human drivers and even went as far as attaching electrodes to their heads to monitor brain activities (Choi Tech chi no logy). They also predicted that within the next 15 years, cars that have skills like that of Michael Schumacher ( A seven-time Formula One World Champion and widely regarded as one of the greatest Formula One drivers of all time) could be driving children to school.

Are you really sure that Bank PHB advert was in 2013? I seriously doubt that!
Anyways, you should outline the details of both cars especially the remote driven one. Tell us bout the engine, transmission torque etc,

With all things been equal, I doubt if that tech can beat me, it isn't designed to take short cuts and risks which my brain is designed to.

The same bank PHB that saw the vision that cars will drive on water didn't see the vision that their bank will turn to keystone bank.

Provide the basis for me and I will prove my self infact I will make it easy for the tech by driving with my eyes closed. grin

Infact all any driver needs to do is spin out the tech's car and the tech will just give coordination error after all, they were only designed to avoid objects and not defensive maneuvering.
