Here is yet another way to take 200 lbs out of your track car - NO DRIVER!


AUDI RS7 NO DRIVER 149mph! Audi Self Driving Car High Speed Full Lap Race Track CARJAM TV 4K 2015


I think someone said they are planning on an FIA driver-less race series?

I found this kind of sad, because most of what is depicted in this video has been moved to lower-cost geograhies

Sad but have you ever worked on a production line?

I have. Imagine doing the same thing over and over again more than 300 times a day.

I was so desperate to get out I joined the Army.

I get real tired of James Cordon real fast, but thankfully, he lays back a bit in this (still not enough, though) and it's a lot of fun and well worth a complete watch... especially the banter when he's prodding Rod for stories from the road; several hilarious moments. Several songs. I did push the player through the middle when the hip hop/rap dude jumped in from the back seat, though. The rest is gold.
