Quote from the article:
Rojas and his team presented the technology-packed prototype under a clear blue sky at an airport in the German capital. The Dodge Caravan crisscrossed the tarmac at the abandoned Tempelhof Airport, its driver using his line of sight to control the car. The car's steering wheel was turning as if guided by ghostly hands. The technology called eyeDriver lets the car drive up to 31 mph (50 kph). "The next step will be to get it to drive 60 miles per hour," Rojas said. Ultimately, however, the Mexican-born researcher is aiming for even more: "The biggest challenge is of course to drive in a city with pedestrians and lots of obstacles." For now, exercises remain relatively simple. The Dodge chases a pedestrian or another car across the tarmac and shows his agility and even drives backward – the driver only has to look into the rear mirror to guide the car. |
