Driverless Auto Designs - Stanford's Autonomous Audi TT-S Operates Only With GPS (VIDEO)
Stanford's Autonomous Audi TT-S Operates Only With GPS

Designed by students at Stanford University’s School of Engineering and VW, the next-generation autonomous Audi TT-S is the latest installment of concept vehicles that can operate without a human driver and no remote control.

One of the coolest features of the experimental car is its ability to navigate only utilizing GPS. The autonomous Audi TT-S was designed to help aid future advancements in automotive handling and accident avoidance.

The new TT-S, unofficially dubbed “Shelly,” uses a different system. It has no cameras, only GPS, and a smaller, less powerful computing box running Sun’s Java Real Time System running on Solaris. (fastcompany)
