Robocar race car successfully completed the first official autonomous hillclimb in front of 55,000 spectators at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The autonomous race car successfully drove itself along the 1.16-mile course without a human driver using artificial intelligence (AI) that includes 5 liDar emitters, 2 radar emitters, 18 ultrasonic sensors, 6 cameras and 2 optical speed sensors.

The car was able to achieve a speed limited to 120km/h (75mph) along the drivable surfaces using cameras and LiDar sensors that that allows it to see a 360-degree vision of the environment .



Duke of Richmond and Founder of the Festival of Speed said:
"It is an enormous achievement for a race car to complete the very first run of the hill using only artificial intelligence,”

"Roborace has worked incredibly hard in order to pull this off and we are excited for the public to see them in action over the Festival weekend.”

Roborace is the world’s first competition for human plus machine teams using both self-driving cars (in the case of Machine Vs Machine) and manually-controlled cars (Human Vs Human) .

Surprisingly a lot of car buyers are still unaware or ignorant of the importance of history reports.

Would you buy a house or land without an intensive account of its history? Water damage/water logged history, theft or vandalism history? Fire damage history? Number of owners, Structural damage history?

For most people the answer will be NO


So why would one then spend millions on a vehicle without as much as a basic history report of the vehicle?

The cost of the report? Compared to the millions these vehicles cost, 1000 - 3000 NGN is nothing to have rest of mind that a vehicle is in good condition with a good history.
How to access the report? It takes 5 - 10 minutes to to have the report in your possession.

Don't hesitate. Save yourself years of expensive repairs with a very inexpensive history check today.

The West keeps excelling in Science Technology and Engineering.

Nigeria on the other hand is proposing to spend more money building ranches for herdsmen than it has budgeted for science and technology in the 2018 budget.

if this happened in the time of Muhammad from the Quran or yeshua from the bible this car prolly would be the vehicle of the most high RN as they wouldn't be able to explain how it drive itself and we probably would attach so much importance to it grin

probably would be the official ride of pastors and imams because it's what God wants grin grin

Nigerian Politicians are busy forming merger parties to wrestle power from the incumbent all in the name of looting our commonwealth to their greedy pockets.

When political leaders in western and asia countries are busy creating conducive environment to improve on their technology.

Leave story if uve heard about the clumsy accidents these cars get into with other moving or stationary cars u won't trust its intelligence dat much. Things like reflection, color and sudden interruptions hv let to dangerous accidents with these cars. Wat u see here is a controlled environment.

Yes, I know...
What I'm saying is with all the sensors (brain) built into the car, the car can see and feel the environment ahead better than human.
So it's just like a professional driver that is behind the wheels...
