Season 2017

The FR-17T-Driverless is the updated version of the FR-17T with a driverless system. This system allows the car to move autonomously without driver intervention. It is capable of recognizing the route, the roadway, and any obstacles, as well as managing engine power and speed independently. The technology required for an autonomous car includes radar systems, GPS, and computer vision, as well as advanced control and computing systems that interpret information and make real-time decisions on the actions to take.
