Stanford's Robotic Audi TTS

[salvadora0]

yes

[evald80]

At the beginning of this video we can see some java code instructions. Is this project really using Java language?

[cognoscenti2011]

Laptop geekfest going on there in the desert - looks almost liek those Apple conferences.

[198608248]

There is a typo on the frames that read " Research continous" .. it should read "research continues".

[deusnovus]

it's fuckin boring - what's the point to have a car and don't drive it by yourself ?!

stop doing this right now !!! it's not fun you idiots !!!

[Octamed]

@deusnovus fun? You have fun on 2 hour commutes in heavy traffic? That's what this is for, not to replace actual fun driving. That will always be around

[gnoxycat]

@deusnovus Have you ever driven a Mercedes with the radar cruse control? Its extreamly fun! Put the car on cruse control at 125mph and do not break do not change lans do NOTHING as you aproach a 55mph semi. The car slows itself to the speed of the semi automaticaly and when you change lanes it speeds back up to 125mph till u get behind another slow driver. I would love nothing more then to have a car that can tailgate at 150-200mph by itself.

[Yamol87]

audi sucks 

[hakie567]

It can kill the people siting in the car by using computer controlling the car with the man couldn't do anything.

[lordjavathe3rd]

FAKE!!

[duckslapper12]

@lordjavathe3rd actually this stuff has been going on for a while. so, no it's not fake.

[lordjavathe3rd]

@duckslapper12 I know. People that say fake to videos which seem obviously true is humorous to me. This was just a little joke to myself. I actually hope it will catch on like that idiotic saying 54(thumbs down on given video) people are Justin Beiber fans. Btw, this video is totally FAKE!!! I bet they photo shopped the physics.

[waynetg]

Go Java!!

[iLikeGfx]

@GerbilGod7 At 0:17 you have two potential out of bounds exceptions in the first and second line of your program entry function main(). You should always check bounds.

Not good to show that one off.

[BoredInfidel]

"The research continuous"?

[jamesjr934]

Today: Chase helicopter crashed

Tomorrow: no more research

[327yellow]

I don't think autonomous driving will ever be put into production vehicles because of liability reasons. If it crashed and killed someone that would be the end of it.

[bboyat0m1c]

@327yellow I partially agree with you. They'll probably have you sign a contract releasing them of that liability. The technology will be fairly new at first but later down the road autonomous cars will be more trusted than human drivers. That's just a speculation that I have. A reference from the movie "I-robot" for instance. I vaguely remember a scene where the girl with Will Smith saying, "Hey! What are you doing? You cant control the car going this speed" blah blah etc

[Octamed]

@327yellow if anything, in the future manual driving will be outlawed because of the same liability reasons :)

[327yellow]

@Octamed Ha true automated driving will definitely happen in countries like Germany since their government fully backs safety innovations like this and they already have laws that prevent consumers from suing large companies :)

[raromero20]

nice video. STANFORD ROCKSSSS!!!!!!

[ben34343]

Is it legal to drive a car without a driver?!

[spasticsurgeon2009]

@racekidishere There will always be cars that are fun to drive. That's how capitalism works--if the public demands it, the companies will build it. This technology will catch on in the market for cars for the everyday person who wants to be safer on their everyday drive to work or to school, just because this tech is out there doesn't mean it will eventually cover up everything that once was good. Don't worry about cars losing their fun value, it won't happen.

[kingnfscarbon]

is audi...no more for talking...audi the daddy of cars xddd

[Rickyrab]

One day, the car, the bus, and the train will get married to one another (in spite of California marriage law), and robot cars will help that happen. For example, automated cars would be able to communicate with one another and a railroad's signal system in order to run on a railroad (if the system were updated, of course), and robot cars would one day be able to catch up to robot trains and board them (or at least drop people off at a train station), so people can meet and do business aboard.

[Rickyrab]

@Rickyrab

Cars would also be able to group together in imitation of buses, or drop people off at bus terminals, and then look for other people... it would be an interesting merger of private transport and public transport.

[ac1058as]

Amazing

[Souraneel]

lol @ the fat guy

[arsenium666]

Today,,,a bunch of fucktards are on the way to neverending stupity.

[pb4evr]

whats the point of this, robotic race cars? where the hells the fun in that and rice car drivers, the whole point of pikes peak.

go play with rc cars stanford

[manukottoo]

instead of spending billions of money in finding out driverless cars... spend that money on Poor people who can't even eat one meal per day... who live under $1 a day... STUPID WORKS!!!

[Nadirion1]

@manukottoo If you spend money on poor people, they will just eat, go home and make more poor people.

[manukottoo]

@Nadirion1 well that could be in YOUR SPECIAL UNIVERSE not in this planet, earth!!!! Do not talk Stupid things in youtube!

[TZMMiami]

@manukottoo one day all this technology will help us to feed al the world, we just need to think forward..

[wouter249]

fucking horny, that's what i think of it !

[rPinhU]

Keep the good work guys!

[jrprince21]

haha..nm I spy "import java.util"

[jrprince21]

Is that Java PL?

[BurnAndre]

Nice

[Airbeam]

Good lord, I love the audi logo on the salt. Guys you are great.

Now let´s see that audi doing some drifting =D

[Riddlerx333x]

BIGGEST ROBOT FAN EVER!!!!! RIGHT HERE

click my name you watch all my videos!!!!

subscribe and comment!!!!

[JapaxD]

Nice work!

[SmallGirlz]

this is about awesome team work!

[gantman]

awesome car. Cheezy video

[skny]

CONTINUES !!!!!!!

[greenheadjoe]

great stuff

[lobisal]

2:25 just fantastic

[henik9]

As long as they keep a 'manual' driving mode, I'll take an auto-piloted car tomorrow..

[ethanmonat]

I'm pretty sure that I don't trust a robotic car where the researchers can't tell the difference between "continuous" and "continues".

[dfhohj]

kiss that car goodbye, did anyone notice that fat jew to the left @ 0:25, hes there to make sure the gas combustion engine stays alive after all him and all his jew and arab brothren make money from gas. i cant believe i saw that! why cant they jus kill them selves.

[1sedition1]

lol, you sound like my dad.

[Yuechang11]

However, the film is related to the future, we will see.

[cigp]

its better have this technology that dont have it

[redghost105]

there is no fun in a car that drives it self

[Octamed]

there's no death either.

[redghost105]

@Octamed

id rather die at 50 having a great fun life

then dieing at 100 staying inside being safe

[Octamed]

it's like when horses were replaced by cars I'm sure some people said 'But I love riding horses, cars are shit'. Guess what? You can still ride horses :) Automatic cars are just going to stop fuckwits from killing innocent people. There will be plenty of 'manual' driving just like horse riding today.

[redghost105]

@Octamed

dude...youe right

i feel like a idiot now

good way to look at it

but you never know....this may save so many lives and theyll start making laws that you need a auto car by law(im thinkin about america here...since i live in america) not that saving lives is a bad thing though

[Octamed]

actually now you have a point ;) In Australia they're making ABS and electronic stability control mandatory. Which I personally thing is really REALLY dangerous because people vastly overestimate their vehicles physical ability (and their own). People need to know how to drive and anything less than fully automatic is dangerous. With 'half' auto cars you don't feel the car loosing it and that's bad. But if it looks good on the books then they make it law :|

[redghost105]

@Octamed

i agree....that is pretty dangerous in australia

i wouldnt mind haveing a self driving car as long as i could trun the selfdriving off though

like if im taking a 7 hour trip then turning auto on

but if i was just driving around town are trying to have a fun drive and turn auto off...i wouldnt mind having that

and also another thing against this idea is

because its technolegy its going to mess up

it will mess up sooner or later no matter what

[redghost105]

@Octamed

so it would really suck going 100mph or so then have it mess up and just spin out

[jaydavey9]

@Octamed: This would only be apparent if someone learns to drive in a car that is semi automated with ABS and stability control and then attempts to drive a car that has no such safety features. So I see your point, but I think it is very minor considering these new laws in Australia means that eventually, all cars will have these minimum safety features. Insurance will eventually become higher for cars that do not have these built in safety features that will force people to drive safer cars.

[Octamed]

@jaydavey9 the thing is though that ABS and stability control only mask what the car is actually capable of. They only emulate a good driver. You can drive on the very limit of traction and physics and have no idea that the car will loose it instantly at a point. People who can drive can feel enough in advance of what the car is doing to avoid pushing it to that limit. But yes, I can't see anyone actually, you know, LEARNING how to drive any time soon, that'd be too hard :)

[jaydavey9]

@Octamed: Our road's speed limits are created based on the category of road you are driving on not what your car physically is capable of. So unless you're driving above the speed limit or the recommended speed limit approaching bends, you should never be any where near the 'limit of traction and physics' when driving your car. If you ever do, you must be driving in extreme weather conditions. But even then, the advice is to slow down and drive to the conditions, not your car's performance.

[Notirez]

Unless one bloke decided he could service his own car and bodges it up :p

I'd rather be in control thank you :p

[Souraneel]

@Octamed I can guarantee you death does exist

[55break55]

they should make shitty cars drive themselves not fun sport coupe

[suprakilzz26]

sickkk part at 3:26

[HumourAustralia]

Love to DRIVE the TT-S myself?? Cool though...

[latquac]

I think they are not using the RS because it can't have the s-tronic transmission

[MTC0316]

why not TT RS?

[roboslug]

If it makes it up Pikes Peak in 1 piece then it's a success even if it's a slow time.

[mariachi82]

"continuous"

Even I with English as a second language would not make that mistake...

[ShizzleSwizzle]

You'd think that this video would be cool. That it might be worth the time invested to download it, even at the expense of other traffic. But, in the end, the only thing that was cool about this video was my reaction to it. It did, I believe, actually suck-start a chopper parked outside whilst I was watching said film. And, though suck-starting a v-twin with ace rims and a kickin' paint job is a skill not to be taken lightly, it has no redeeming value vis-a-vis the film. 2 stars.

[ToneyDanza]

@ShizzleSwizzle

I have no idea what you just said. I think you need to put down the meth.

[ShizzleSwizzle]

@ToneyDanza

Hey, you're not the boss of me.

[monsimand]

awesome tho :D

[wowcolors]

all this "today", "tomorrow" stuff is really lame, the car on the other hand is cool

[Sirheadly87]

if this beats the 1987 record... i will eat my shit

[doomsjay]

...and crap it out your mouth?

[NickRoeder]

Today the research are continuous. lol

[hausofdub]

Good work!!! this beats FSAE any day of the week....should do a TTRS next!!

[chimchiminey]

I wouldn´t be interested in watching a rally race with no drivers. It would be boring as shit. However, I would be interested in not having to drive anymore, Being able to sit in the backseat and drink a beer, or legally receive a headjob whilst riding in on of these robot cars. You can have sex on interstate highways!!!!!

[racekidishere]

yesterday--driving was fun without those electrinic devices.

today-- driving is boring with auto transmision/esp/abs/tcs...

tomorrow--driving fun is dead, thanks to stanford!

[gmm3780]

hahaha...true that

[liviuhp]

@racekidishere

tomorrow--driving is code...

[TZMMiami]

@racekidishere lol

[samuelstnly]

@racekidishere you're an idiot.

[Sleepinglion22]

@racekidishere eh as long as their is some play in driving, and roads that are unpredictable, driving will always be fun. and if all else fails, go get a motorcycle license and go for a ride :P

[new2hackin]

@racekidishere

Maybe driving will be dead, but a lot less people will be dead from the maniacs who were having fun 'yesterday'.

[smradlavaponozka]

@new2hackin

I cant agree... if computers arent reliable then even the car cant be reliable...and still...computers are made by humans :-) i think that in about 30 years it will be an option but humans will still have to have a option of taking control...

[catapaultpenguin]

@smradlavaponozka computers aren't reliable? I remind you that you car is already controlled by computers, just not driven by them.

[smradlavaponozka]

@catapaultpenguin you dont have to remind me that...im working for car companies :-) and no its not still reliable enought to let the car take all the control...and even if it was...many people wouldnt trust it...

[catapaultpenguin]

@smradlavaponozka So you don't think the ecu's in current cars are reliable? People also said smart cars couldn't become popular because people would be afraid to drive those too. Despite that, progress happened.

[smradlavaponozka]

@catapaultpenguin look i dont know where are you eorking and i dont even want to know...your a jerk? sorry but an ECU(european) and a totally self controled car is something else...i work for car companies...i know what are cars mae from...but americans dont :D

[catapaultpenguin]

@smradlavaponozka you said computers aren't reliable, an ecu (engine control unit) is one of the most reliable parts of a car they don't malfunction often at all and they are computers.

[onekillerdrummer]

@smradlavaponozka Actually euros AND Americans know how to make cars. I think its just YOU that doesn't get it. Stuff your segregation comments up your butt dumbo!

[smradlavaponozka]

@onekillerdrummer no sorry...americans dont have the quality they haved...and in the begining i wrote that we would see the technology in real life in about 20 years ecause it has still to do a lot of testing and because it will take time till people will trust it...so read everything and then write...DUMBO :-)

[new2hackin]

@smradlavaponozka

Computers don't make mistakes, humans using them do. They will be a LOT more safer than humans driving them, and they can't get drunk or high either.

[smradlavaponozka]

@new2hackin read! i wrote that computers arent reliable BECAUSE they are made by human!

[new2hackin]

@smradlavaponozka

What sort of reason is that? Humans don't program human error into machines, they don't give machines human behaviour, machines are machines and cannot make errors in judgement or perform stupid behaviour, they don't get emotional nor make calculated mistakes. Their only problems are hardware faults, bugs in coding and that's about it. These things can be remedied easily with simple maintenance, and happen far less often than the myriad of mistakes humans can make.

[jklsd]

@new2hackin I'd rather die than life a live with no fun.

[new2hackin]

@jklsd

Then you are a minority and you may go jump off a cliff if you are bored. :)

[jklsd]

@new2hackin I'd rather die than live a life with no fun.

[Mikzarn]

@racekidishere

And maybe deaths related to 'driving fun' are gone.

Take your 'fun' driving to your local race track.

[aqwayne]

why an Audi TT-S you might ask? Its because no one can stand the thought of a BMW or Benz crashing =)

[mickyredmire]

Women are OK, but Group B is better. So please f*ck off.

[nxmoparmatt84]

group b is still the best, crazy as all hell but still the best

[mickyredmire]

Fantastic, that quattro is a real man's machine, What was the rest of the video about?

[rabidbigdog]

Tedious - my Tamiya RC does this already.

[EroticarTV]

Where is the video of the S1 without the commentary that they are using ?

[zhevox]

lol,gerlish

[fobeeguy]

Hopefully they remember to fix the Coil Pack and DSG problems before the race =P

[jayho25]

vail blog

[nightdwellerwolf]

lol, 1:33 - "today, the research continuous" :P

[Sabertron1337]

And they'll be programming your car in the future =S.

[Ribunculous]

Heh. Skip to 2:20. :\

[hybredesign]

what is this cheesy iMovie crap? come on Stanford...

[raabgunner]

Ford had the same type of name but the quickly changed it to some thing else... F.A.I.L.

[samsite84]

just f*ck of, and go suk ford employees di**s

[EternalSickness]

"STOP THE CAR! STOP THE FUCKING CAR! IT'S GONNA HIT THE MOUN... Shit."

[FrauMisch]

why would they call it FAIL?

[insanity54]

You guys got a LOT done in two days!

[Vinitachi]

I await the 2010 trial.

[AlexCameronMulcahy]

Where would we be in todays society without these awesomely smart nerds!?!

[852147369retard]

Why can they not integrate the sensors into the body of the car

[AlexCameronMulcahy]

They could if they chose to.

[852147369retard]

yeah, like the black stuff over IR transmitters, it would look so cool

[jaydavey9]

@852147369retard Costs too much for a one off prototype. Once the Proof of concept car works, I'm sure they will.

[aten78]

is audi TT and the old one is a quatro

[anurangax27]

lol java

[MatsNorway]

going to be fun seeing a robot steer right of that cliff. on the radio: "fly me to the moon"

But of course they are going to make it tho, eventually

[Helldiver450]

Something tells me that  you've seen Neon Genesis Evangelion lol.

[MatsNorway]

umm whats that? got link?

[EDVINUXXX]

what is that car? i mean what audi. The exact model

[minieggg1]

audi TT, its the new shape model
