Self-Driving Cars Speed Ahead
Fitting an Audi TTS with a bevy of sensors that track every nuance of performance, the head of Stanford University’s Dynamic Design Lab is pushing the limits of driverless cars
Chris Gerdes isn’t your typical car guy. Yes, he likes to drive fast and push his vehicle to the limits, but he takes the tinkering to accomplish all of that to a completely different level. Fitting an Audi TTS with a bevy of sensors that track every nuance of performance, the head of Stanford University’s Dynamic Design Lab is pushing the limits of driverless car performance. The goal is to develop better safety systems for the next generation of vehicles, whether they are driverless or not.
