The car workshop was conducted by the House with the four rings in collaboration with Oracle and Stanford University and aims to improve the conditions in the near future active safety of a car. It 's the case of any sudden illnesses of the driver, or in times of poor visibility and in all circumstances in which "electronic aid" could be critical for the man.

The purpose of this project is therefore to replace the human role. The operation of this particular car is easier than you think, in fact, the hardware that controls the main functions of the car is very similar to those of a normal computer. Were placed in the trunk two processors: the first calculates the security-related algorithms using the famous Real Time Java designed by Oracle, while the second processes the dynamic algorithms that control the speed, acceleration, braking, and all possible conditions occur during normal driving.

The car can "see" the road through the differential GPS system, which then allows you to maintain a course approximately 2 cm by the middle of the road. Some of the accessories on the TTS are compatible with this innovative automatic guidance system. In fact, Audi's engineers have realized that the speed S-tronic dual-clutch and the accelerator by wire or electronic, are perfectly adaptable to the interface of the two processors used by the system.

The event this week in Geneva is not the first appearance of 'auto-drive Audi TTS, in fact, this incredible vehicle has astonished the world by participating in a few months ago at the legendary Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, the last time trial car plows every year the slopes of the Rocky Mountains in the U.S.

state of Colorado, where the sport "independent" well-traveled 12 miles in just 27 minutes.
