By James Thurber and Stix The New Yorker, September 26 , 1931P. 9 For the comfort of a passenger with hay fever the pilot drove the plane to an altitude of six thousand feet.
From Audi's description, it appears that Pilot Driving will primarily help drivers deal with busy traffic on the freeways, as well as parking.
The Captain said, 'Well, you're supposed to know what you're talking about.'" "A suicide pilot drove right between our stacks and I could see his face like I can see your face," Joe continued with the look and voice of a 95 year old man but the energy of the 26 year old he was at the time.

Here, Audi tested an initial version of "Piloted Driving" – something it calls "Traffic Jam Pilot" – which allows the vehicle to take over on behalf of the driver, controlling steering, braking and speed control at speeds of up to 40 miles per hour.
Audi has demonstrated more lusty applications of its Piloted Driving technology, notably a blistering 2014 lap of Germany's Hockenheim race circuit in a self-driven RS 7, and a go-for-broke 2010 ascent of Colorado's Pikes Peak in a TTS nicknamed Shelley – both achieved with empty driver's and passenger's seats.
