So, the green flag is waved once everything is safe. Bobby is absolutely away, the first piloted car here at the Hackenheimring with Audi. This RS7 accelerates now towards the Nordkurve, a turn one. You can see that—look—it's being steered by nobody; it's being controlled by the intelligence. A great line through turn one, heading up now towards turn two. Just look at the speed—we're approaching 180 km an hour as we go into turn two. Brilliant braking, all assured and controlled. You can hear the uh, 560 horsepower being unleashed through three and four, and now it's the Parabolica, as the tens of thousands of fans here witness history in the making from Audi piloted driving. This is a fantastic shot from our helicopter that is tracking the car now. This is going to be crucial—heavy, heavy braking as the car reaches 220 km an hour and brakes now for the hairpin. Brilliant line through the hairpin—measured, controlled, accurate, precise—and then the acceleration out of the hairpin as we head down towards turn seven.
Now this is Bobby, and it's Bobby completely on its own with no driver in there, looking very assured and very comfortable. All the fans in the grandstand can hardly believe what they are seeing right now. This car is being driven by technology, by intelligence, and look at that line as it's straight through turns nine and ten—absolutely perfectly taking exactly the optimum line that you would expect a top, top racing driver to take. Heading down now towards turn 11, turns in, and now this—the Sachs turn—where racing drivers choose different lines. Now Bobby here choosing to hug the inside; there's just a little bit of curb. Unleashes the power once again. We have turns 13 and 14 to do before a lap at racing speed is completed by a piloted car. This has been absolutely perfect—not one foot wrong; it has been precise as it heads towards the start-finish line. The absolute optimum lap as the car comes to a stop. Now that was truly awesome.
