- cmansley 13y agoTesla HQ is near Stanford, which has some Audi cars which have sensors on the roof.
- mikeyouse 13y agoStanford has a group called "VAIL" which is an acronym for the Volkswagen Automotive Innovation Lab. [1] As you probably know, Audi is a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Auto Group. AFAIK, this group was borne out of the DARPA Autonomous Car challenge, where the Stanford team partnered with VW to win the challenge. [2] They've produced several different VAG-based models including several Audis that mainly focus on self-driving and similar AI. One of their more high profile recent examples was an Audi TT that climbed Pikes Peak without any human input. [3] Some pretty cool stuff, and likely the cars you saw.
