Roborace completes its first autonomous hillclimb run during Goodwood test session
During the week of Goodwood Festival of Speed 2018, Roborace completed the vaunted hillclimb during an early morning test session with Robocar, the world’s first autonomous race car. This accomplishment was made without the assistance of a safety driver.

This feat in combination with the runs over race weekend marks a milestone moment at Goodwood, making Roborace the first-ever autonomous race car to complete the hillclimb at the Festival of Speed.
“Roborace plays an important role in the future of mobility, challenging public perceptions and providing a platform to advance new technologies,” said Charles Gordon-Lennox, the Duke of Richmond and Founder of the Festival of Speed. “This makes them the perfect partner to undertake this significant feat.”
To commemorate the historic accomplishment, the entire run was recorded with a 360 camera system mounted on the fuselage of Robocar. The content was captured for Robocar VR, a custom virtual reality experience debuting inside the Future Lab at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2018.

Holy oscillation on the steering Batman! They need to work on the PID tuning on the steering in a bad way, hunting like that at high speeds could cause the car to crash or spin out. Steering is really hard to tune as well because of the dynamic friction. As speed increases the friction on the ground decreases.
You are OK up until your last statement. On today”s high performance race cars higher speeds equal more downforce equals better road grip due to the sophisticated aerodynamic features and added airfoils.
