    Lightbulb SEAT UK Testing Driverless Touring Car

    SEAT is going to be running a driverless Leon in the BTCC. Be interesting to see how this works out.

    Drag racing is for fast cars. Solo 2 is for fast drivers.

    SEAT hasn't been the only company playing with this idea. It's similar to what some of the big engineering universities are doing in the states for the DARPA challenges, and that BMW that did show up on Top Gear. Even Toyota/Lexus autopark technology is based on the same principals.

    Er - did you notice the date on the article?

    Not that it couldn't happen at some point, but I think that we are a long ways off yet for a number of reasons.

    There's not doubt an AI will drive a perfect track lap time when it's the only car on the track.

    I don't think it'll work well with a bunch of cars on track.

    I didn't think the autopark used GPS

    Yes, this is what not paying attention looks like lol. However, vehicles like this do actually exist: http://www.darpa.mil/GRANDCHALLENGE/
