I was traveling for business, but staying in someone’s house while they weren’t there. The house was in europe, somewhere. Switzerland? Huge mountains rising up abruptly out of a plain. The plain was covered with absolutely HUGE radio towers. The bases were 10 miles on a side.
Anyhow, the car had GPS, but that’s not all… It drove itself. I got the impression that it used a combination of GPS and LIDAR to figure out appropriate speeds for upcoming turns. Not unlike CMU’s robot, I suppose. This was particularly cool because I could sleep, although I was nervous about letting it drive by itself on the wind-ey mountain roads.
I think it was an Audi. Was red, anyhow. Oh, and it had a huge amount of power. The road from the plain up into the mountains was pretty much a single slope instead of switchbacks. And the car was able to race up several thousand feet in just a minute or so.
