Last weekend, popped an autonomous RS7 entirely without direct human input around Hockenheim, with a great performance to see. But did you know that Audi already 20 years ago, an autonomous car?

Audi has long been involved with its piloted driving program. Perhaps you can have the TT-S remember that Pikes Peak is climbed, or else the unfortunate helikopterongeluk that the attempt of a black edge. But the program goes even further back: in the early ’90s was already experimented with an autonomous Audi 100. Unfortunately, the results were too erratic, and so broke Audi the program, and destroyed any evidence.

They thought, because a model did a miracle from Audi’s super lab (and the shredder) to escape, and ended up through in the hands of a Polish consumer. The autonomous system kept for some time quiet, but recently revealed the diabolical manner, by its driver, to discharge, and then a van to attack. The whole was recorded on video, and despite frantic efforts from Ingolstadt (blinded vans for houses, death squads, you know it) remained the images are not under the cap. See and shudder!
