Audi and the University of Stanford teamed up to create the Volkswagen Automotive Innovation Lab and what they came up with was the Robotic Audi TTS. That’s not all. Audi also wants to be able to drive the unmanned vehicle up Pikes Peak International Hill Climb—12.4 miles of winding mountain road, at 130 mph. “Shelley” is poised to make the trek as early as next year with full computer and GPS control. According to Chris Gerdes, a mechanical engineering professor at Stanford, the car will be making decisions by itself. The team hopes the technology will help create innovative safety features on today and tomorrow’s automobiles. Here’s some footage of the car of tomorrow.
