Audi Dynamic Pilot Sets Fast Lap Times at Sonoma Raceway - TFLcar.com
The Audi dynamic piloted driving program makes another leap forward demonstrating their RS 7 piloted driving prototype “Robby” can set faster lap times than many sport drivers at Sonoma Raceway. Demonstrating the system’s ability to consistently control braking, steering and acceleration to the point where the dynamic piloted driving controls set consistent lap times at one of the country’s most demanding road courses. “In Sonoma we brought the Audi RS 7 piloted driving concept lap after lap to the physical limit, and in constant precision,” said Thomas Müller, Head of Development for Braking, Steering and Driver Assistance Systems, AUDI AG. “The car reached lap... ” The RS 7 prototype required only 2:01. 01 minutes to set its best lap time at the 2. 5-mile course. Robby is also a 560 horsepower RS 7, but Audi engineers reduced the weight by 882 pounds to make it faster and to more closely resemble the weight of a production RS 7. Realizing that there are more than engineering hurdles to overcome when the... Source: www.tflcar.com
