Audi RS7 to Lap Hockenheim Without a Driver

Audi will be showing off its autonomous driving technologies at the German Touring Car Championship (DTM).

The German automaker has announced that it’ll be demonstrating the potential of piloted driving at the DTM finale on October 19, billing it as the “world’s sportiest piloted driving car.” The concept will take on the Hockenheim track at racing speed and will be approximately as fast as if it was driven with a professional driver behind the wheel.

So far, tests conducted by Audi show that a lap time of just over two minutes can be expected and the RS7 will be capable of reaching speeds of up to 149 mph. The German automaker has been working on autonomous driving technologies for quite some time now and has demonstrated it on several of its models.
