Self-driven slot cars powered by Freescale

Posted by Charbax – June 22, 2010

You know the slot cars, you have two little electric cars on a track and two players have a button to decide how much voltage to send over to the car. Freescale has collaborated with universities in Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania to use Freescale sensors and software algorithms to create an automatic self-driven car that is faster than most human drivers. As it learns the track on its first lap, it then speeds away at full speed, knowing exacly how much speed to use in each turn. You can watch this other official video showing the self-driven slot cars at Self-driven slot cars at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv5_g5dVsaw

    Whats the fun in a self driven car? The fun of a small toy car is to control it…race it?

    Imagine getting one of those to practice against the computer. It's like Super Mario Kart, against the computer, perhaps you could set the level of the computer, the difference is this is for real. I think it's very cool. They should sell the self-driven cars separately if they can make it fit the most common slot car tracks.

    Also, he says that top professional slot car racers are able to beat the computer. So this could be a good way for them to do training, for them to keep trying to beat the computer driven auto car.

    HE proposal of the self-driven slot car contest was motivated by the idea to bring the university students into a
    development of a real-time software out of an isolated computer or laboratory environment. They would see the results
    of their work in real and could compare it with others on the contest. The contest subject is attractive. Probably every student knows and used to enjoy the slot car racing. Most of them think they know how to drive the car the best way.

    Hey, Nice post. Its really an amazing car. These cars are good for training purpose. Sensors and software algorithms are used to create this automatic self-driven car. This is faster than most human drivers
