Oh, man, I love industrial automation. If my educational path had gone differently, I could see myself designing those machines. So cool.

Audi also has an RS7 set up for self-driving on a track. It can turn quite good lap times but currently the racing line is just preprogramed and so it can't handle other vehicles on the track at the same time, but it's still neat
