its effort to bring autonomous-driving technology to the streets. Two Audi RS7
sedans raced around a track in Germany. The car without a driver won this
matchup by five seconds. In these experiments, the car needs to choose for
itself the best way to take the corners in its race against human drivers. The
map that the car received “just contains the left and right boundaries of the
track,” said Peter Bergmiller, an Audi technician. Automakers like
Mercedes-Benz and Tesla Motors Inc. are trying to develop a system to ease the
strain of driving by letting cars park themselves and even taking over the
wheel in stop-and-go traffic.
The
purpose is to show that computers are able to push cars to their limits on race
tracks while at the same time aiming to convince regulators that the technology
can be safe in the real world. There’s a lot at stake in getting cars prepared
with these features on the road. Technology for self-driving cars is estimate
it to be an $87 billion market by 2030, according to Boston-based Lux Research.
