Euh ... voor wie een argument nodig had om toch die Thunderbird (zonder Satnav) te nemen om te cruisen in plaats van die viriele Esprit.

DANVILLE, VA. - A record of a different sort was set today at VIRginia
International Raceway (VIR). This record wasn't set by a driver, but rather
by Insight Racing's N.C. State University-sponsored "Lone Wolf," a Lotus
Elise sports car modified to drive itself from one place to another. This
completely robotic vehicle drove the Full Course at VIR in just over 6
minutes, topping out at 49 mph.

The Lone Wolf is NCSU College of Engineering's entry in the DARPA (Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency) Urban Challenge project to develop fully
autonomous vehicles capable of operating in a city environment with no human
intervention. The Urban Challenge race is scheduled for November 3rd. The
Urban Challenge project is intended to allow the military to have one-third
of its vehicles with this self driving ability by 2015.

Recently tested at VIRginia International Raceway, the Lone Wolf
successfully completed several laps of the 3.27-mile natural terrain road
course at increasing speeds. "The top speed in the Urban Challenge is 30
mph, but with a beautiful Lotus Elise at fabulous Virginia International
Raceway, we couldn't resist the urge to drive the Lone Wolf fast," said
Grayson Randall, Founder of Insight Racing. "After some tuning overnight we
had a great run Thursday morning, knocking almost two minutes off our
official time from Wednesday." The VIR event was sponsored by Lotus of
Durham, in Durham, N.C.

The quick times actually led to a well-documented and humorous incident when
the car dropped two tires off into the grass and in returning to the track,
spun out. According to VIR officicals, this is a common maneuver for novice
drivers. The spin resulted in more amusement than concern as the team
crowded around a video camera to play and replay the incident. Video of the
spin can be viewed on YouTube at: youtube.com/watch?v=edFUCSBLjN8.

Handige tutorial, zonder het obligate gegiechel, en voor een keer eens goed geëxpliceerd door een wijze oude man.
