NEW - The car-robot Audi TTS clocked up to 190 km / h
10:59 PM
The car-robot created by researchers from Stanford and is fully equipped with an automatic control system, can now reach speeds over 190 kilometers per hour. The machine is able to compete on the race track with professional drivers. The results of the computer-robot close to a human
At Thunderhill racetrack drone sports car lap of 4.8 kilometers to 2.5 minutes, developing speed in excess of 190 kilometers per hour. The miracle of technology, "name" Shelley (Shelley) sets in motion a complex automation system, controlled by a specially developed program. The computer calculates the optimal path of rotation, and determines when to brake, and when the gas to squeeze out
The results demonstrated a car-robot, very close to those shown on this track professional racers. Still, despite its complex stuffing, Shelley plays the best pilots in seconds.
"The man leads another, - says the project manager Chris Dzherdes. -" Shelley "strictly adheres to the calculated rate, while a person relies more on feelings and intuition. For example, the pilot can send a car into a turn too wide on the path, if he knows that this will go better the next. "
However, researchers are not going to give up. They plan to literally look into the head of professional drivers to understand than those guided by taking the unusual decision to help win the race

In the upcoming races in the event Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion will put two pilots on a set of sensors that will scan a set of parameters, including body temperature, heart rate and brain activity. This will help scientists determine which maneuvers demand from the driver's highest concentration. Simultaneously, the other instruments will monitor all technical data of machinery
"We need to know what makes the best racers as successful - Dzherdes said. - If we can link these data with changes in the dynamics of fireball, we can improve the efficiency of our car."
The results will be used to build cars, robots capable of moving without a driver on public roads. In the short term they will help to develop an automated system that helps drivers to cope with dangerous situations on the road
Researchers believe that testing on the racetrack is very important because they demonstrate the behavior of high-tech car on the limit loads (during the recent arrivals from the heat and slip unhappy Shelley completely lost the brake pads
