How artificial intelligence is set to revolutionise driving

Smart, connected cars might well be poised to make motor transportation more fuel and time efficient – as well as safer – but that doesn't mean the cars of tomorrow won't be exciting. The RS 7 Sportback piloted driving concept is a 560hp five-door coupe with a top speed of 305kph (189.5mph). Audi has already showcased this luxury machine at Germany's Hockenheim circuit and the Ascari Race Resort – at race pace and without a human at the controls. On track, this RS 7 can apply full throttle on straights, and creates up to 1.1 g of lateral acceleration when cornering. With precisely measured braking ahead of bends, it can produce g-forces of 1.3 g. Turning is smooth and follows a flawless racing line.
