Auto Audi

, April 19, 2015

Germany's Federal Minister of Transport and Digital Infrastructure Alexander Dobrindt test drove under realistic conditions on Autobahn A9 an Audi A7 piloted driving concept vehicle. The car drives autonomously – including lane changes and passing.

Dobrindt said after his ride in the test vehicle, “Jack”: “Automated driving is not something out of science fiction. In a few years there will be piloted vehicles driving on the roads. Digital technology can assume tasks from the driver and provide enhanced safety and convenience. The long term goal is completely networked roads."

Dobrindt recently declared a section of the German Autobahn A9 to be a high-tech superhighway. It will serve as a test bed for the networked automobile of the future.
