  • Audi has progressed its driver assistance technology so far that you don't even need to be behind the wheel. What better way to terrify other road users than an unmanned car that can find and collect you with a single command from your smartphone?
    Subscribe to WIRED ►► po.st/Subscribe...
    The autonomous A7, demonstrated at CES 2013, uses a range of cameras, sensors and network data to navigate unaccompanied from your garage to your current location without running anyone down. This prototype is the ultimate conclusion of the sophisticated and very real electronics that will be assisting Audi drivers this year. Wired.co.uk followed Audi to NAIAS (north American international motor show) to find out more.

      +Sara Matić Not so fast. Mercedes, BMW, Volvo, Ford all have shown self driving cars since 1998. The only car that is in the market and is in the forefront is TESLA. Mercedes & BMW follow behind. BMW can park itself in your home garage. All others are showing models for your grandchildren or great grandchildren.

    The whole concept of driver-less cars has me very excited. I quite like Google's claim of 90% accident reduction, 90% energy/time waste reduction, and 90% cost reduction. Instead of owning a car you simply "call" when you need one, and 'hire' a vehicle for the time you need it. Need to just get somewhere? Great, here's a small hatchback. Need to move some stuff? Here's a big truck! No more expensive maintenance, no more stress, far less accidents and traffic. This is the future, and I'm excited!

    Needs a red LED display behind the front grill, like the car KIT in the old TV series. That would be so awesome, and it would alert other nearby drivers to the fact that it is a driver-less car, and no amount of honking is going to make it go faster, lol.

    It's not an auto pilot car just a self parking car. In the real world of mixed AVs and manual control cars it would be a very different matter. Plus imagine a driver in a manual control car having fun with the AV by doing things that would confuse it. A human driver would make assessments and handle the situation but an AV would have a meltdown.

    I would like to see it park on black Friday or 3 days before Christmas. It would probably shut down with all the confusion, then overload and drive through a dept store front window. It then will hunt down the driver who initiated the park sequence, then run them over for not parking it them damn self.
