And you thought it was impressive how fast you were in autocross. Well this car doesn't need you, it can do it ITSELF.

Anyone know how it was actually driving that course? Are the turns, acceleration, and braking pre-programmed into the guidance system, or is it based on something like following a very precise GPS route? Or is it doing all that based on real-time sensors that can see the cones?

Jalopnik had 2 videos and what i heard in the video sounded like they drove the course and plotted it so the car could follow the route at a speed the computers deemed appropriate.

Look at those tiny cars with their tiny tiny engines.

For the next quarterly department meeting at work, we've arranged for it to be held at this place:

Probably the only purely diesel-related museum in the entire world and home of the bigass H. C. rsted diesel engine, the biggest in the world from 1932 to 1964 with 22500hp:

And a bunch of other diesel-related stuff as well. As a huge diesel nerd, this is going to be sooooo cool!

Haha, they recommend against using their car for transporting children, because "only a beautiful women should occupy that seat"

The whole interview with that PR rep was nonstop Lamborghini stereotype, and it was hilarious.

I really wish that the WRC would revert back to rear wheel drive.

Much more fun to watch.

Also gently caress your 600hp turbo drift machines, have a 2L NA with what 250hp at the most throwing them around corners for km on end instead of a nice safe racetrack.
