  • Wandlungskonditionen ??

    Wenn Du wandelst bekommst Du Dein Autop bevorzugt. Wieviel schneller kann ich nicht sagen, aber es geht um einiges schneller. Jamesbond hat seinen auch gewandelt und das ging ruckizucki.

    Die 0,4% - 0,7% sind immer Händler abhängig. Es gibt keinen festen Betrag (%Satz), solltest Du aber einen neuen bei Deinem jetzigem Händelr bestellen, sollte der froh und glücklich (!!!))) sein und Dir mehr % geben.

    Bei Fragen kannst Du mir gerne eine pn zukommen lassen.

  • Promis fahren Touareg

    Ich bin mir sicher, daß wenn Sie kommt, Ihr alle einen super JOb machen werdet. Da mach ich mir überhaupt keinen Kopf!!! :Applause: :Applause:

    (Sonst hätt ich Sie ja auch nicht in meiner Abwesenheit eingeladen, ich muss mich leider mit Familie unter den Palmen am Bay of Siam erholen! :D )

    Gruß an die Off-Road Freaks!!!

  • Promis fahren Touareg

    So es gibt mal wieder ein update:

    Wie ich heute erfahren/gesehen habe fährt Frau Steigenberger privat einen Touareg V8!

    :Applause:

    Und jetzt der Hammer:

    Vielleicht nimmt die gute Frau und Bekannter (V10) am Treffen in Bauschheim teil.

    :Applause:

    Infos bzw. Zu oder Absage folgen!

  • Skype

    Ich benutze Skype fast von Anfang an, und habe ansich noch nie Probleme gehabt. Benutze es regelmässig um nach Thailand zu telefonieren. Billiger geht es nicht :D Qualität war immer in Ordnung, man muss halt nur aufpassen, daß man im Hintergrung nicht emule oder sonstwas laufen hat, dann funktioniert es ansich einwand frei. Irr-Date wie Dreyer sie bekommen hat, habe ich noch nie erhalten, da finde ich die spam mails von Hotmail viel schlimmer. :wut:

    Frank

    werde es rotzdem mal ausporbieren. Danke für den Tip! :Applause:

    _____________________________________


    Meet Stanley. Stanley is a 2004 Volkswagen Touareg. But Stanley is not like other 2004 Volkswagen Touaregs. Its not just that Stanley is powered by a 2.5-liter inline five-cylinder turbodiesel engine. There are plenty of so-equipped Touaregs in Europe, if not North America, so that's not the difference.

    Look more closely at Stanley, moving down the road. There's nobody in the driver's seat.

    Where other Volkswagens are driver's cars, Stanley, to be anthropomorphic, drives himself. No ``Drivers Wanted'' here, sorry humans. It's ``Drivers Not Required.'' Stanley is an autonomous vehicle, a robot. Stanley drives himself - there is no little man in a box, there is no remote control operator.

    Stanley is the product of a cooperative venture between academia and industry. Academia is represented by the Palo Alto, CA-based Stanford University Engineering Department - hence the name ``Stanley. Industry is represented by Volkswagen and its Electronics Research Laboratory (ERL), venture capital firm Mohr Davidow Ventures (MDV), and Android, with further support from Intel, Honeywell, and visual imaging company Tyzx. In many ways, the team producing Stanley is a classic Silicon Valley start-up, with input from academia, existing companies, and venture capital. And all parties are located within close distance for optimum cooperation.

    There is a long history of academic-industry partnership in the valley, with Stanford the premier university in the area. About 50 people from all of the partners come together as the Stanford Racing Team, an interdisciplinary group incorporating backgrounds in artificial intelligence, robotics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and aerospace. There are and will be plenty of new developments in hardware and software involved.

    ``Racing Team'' suggests that there is a race involved. It is not your normal race. Stanley and the Stanford Racing Team exist to compete in the second DARPA Grand Challenge, set to take place on October 8, 2005. If the name DARPA seems familiar, it's a government agency, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Yes, military applications are a DARPA specialty, but some of those have interesting civilian spinoffs. One little project it was involved with in the past was an early computer network known as Darpanet, designed to link universities and defense contractors together. You may be more familiar with Darpanet's direct descendent - the Internet.

    The goal of the Grand Challenge is a successful autonomous ground vehicle - one which can successfully drive without human intervention. Military applications should be obvious, but there are plenty of non-military uses as well. Planetary exploration, anyone? Closer to home, and one reason for Volkswagen's involvement, is the development of driver-assistance systems, for use in thick fog or whiteout snow or other inclement conditions.

    The first Grand Challenge took place last year. Of 105 entries, none finished. None got further than eight miles. This year's course will be even more difficult, and will not be revealed in detail to participants beforehand. Surfaces will include both dirt and paved roads. Navigation, for Stanley, at least, is by a mixture of ``visual'' - optical, radar, and lidar (laser) - and GPS cues. The race will be run in Southern California's Mojave Desert. Anyone out there remember the ``Barstow-to-Vegas'' off-road motorcycle races of the past? Think Barstow-to-Vegas for robots. This is the 21st Century, after all. The winner, if there is one, will receive $2 million, but that's not the main motivation. New technology is.

    Why is Volkswagen involved? As mentioned, there are plenty of civilian-use possibilities for technologies developed for the DARPA Grand Challenge. And VW has a long history of technological development. The Touareg is intrinsically-suited for autonomous operation, as all of its major systems are already electronically-controlled, and it is eminently capable of handling the conditions expected in the Grand Challenge and worse. And the Electronics Research Laboratory is within walking distance of the Stanford campus.

    A little over a month ago, before the project was unveiled to the public, a group of journalists were introduced to the Stanford Racing Team and Stanley. It was a fascinating experience. I've met development engineers and I've ridden in experimental vehicles before, but this was a little different. While group leadership is composed of Stanford professors and VW engineers, the bulk of the work is being done by Stanford graduate students. To a man - and woman - they were bright, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and having great time working on the project, and their degrees. And why not? This is the cutting edge.

    Stanley ``sees'' the world with a mix of optical and electronic inputs, classifies the area ahead as ``road'' and ``not road,'' and learns from his mistakes. The control hardware is complex; the software even more so. Stanley is human-drivable, meaning that the steering wheel, shift linkage, and control pedals are hooked up in the normal fashion.

    The highlight of the presentation was a chance to ride in Stanley, and view what he was seeing in real time via an engineer's laptop. A course was set out in a grassy area of the campus, I climbed in the back seat (all the better to see the laptop), and off we went. As would be the case with a live driver, each lap around the course was slightly different. The ``Stanley's-eye'' view was eerie, like looking at radar images. Which it was. A view of the world through the eyes of alien intelligence. It was also amusing to watch the steering wheel turn by itself.

    The Stanford Racing Team has promised to keep journalists and the public updated in the time before the race, and I look forward to learning more about this fascinating project.

    Entries named for robot race
    ----------------------------------
    Let the battle of the machines begin again.
    Forty self-navigating robots were chosen Monday to compete in the Oct. 8 sequel to last year's first-ever robot race across the Mojave Desert.

    Only half of the semifinalists will qualify for a spot on the starting line, based on how they maneuver without human help through a series of obstacle courses.

    The stakes are higher this time around: Organizers of the Pentagon-sponsored race doubled the prize money after none of the 15 contestants finished the rugged desert course last year.

    A converted Humvee by Carnegie Mellon University was the best performer last year despite traveling only 71/2 miles before breaking down. The Red Team that designed the Humvee, nicknamed Sandstorm, is back for another shot with an improved version and is entering a second robot in the competition.

    "This year is a dogfight. It's going to be a real rumble,' said William "Red' Whittaker, a robotics professor at Carnegie Mellon University who leads the Red Team.

    The semifinalists will compete head-to-head at the California Speedway in Fontana in September and October in a series of trials designed to test their self-navigation skills. The robotic vehicles cannot be controlled remotely and must rely on global positioning satellites and various sensors, lasers, radar and cameras to orient themselves and detect and avoid barriers.

    Based on the robots' performance, the field will be further whittled down and 20 robots will be chosen to race in October.

    The first robot to make it across 150 miles of desert between Los Angeles and Las Vegas in less than 10 hours wins. The exact course will be revealed two hours before race time.

    This year's semifinalists include most of last year's participants vying for a second chance. The teams, which come from 16 states and Canada, include individuals, universities, corporations and a high school. Nearly 200 teams applied for this year's race.

    Among the newcomers is the Stanford Racing Team, which is entering a converted Volkswagen Touareg nicknamed Stanley. Team leader Sebastian Thrun, a computer science professor at Stanford University, said his focus is to try to perfect Stanley's computerized navigation system so that it can overcome any obstacle. "It's all about building a mind for the machine,' Thrun said. "We believe it's a software race, not a hardware race.'

    The so-called Grand Challenge contest is sponsored by the research and development arm of the Pentagon known as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to foster the development of unmanned vehicles that could be used in combat. The race is part of the Pentagon's efforts to have one-third of all ground vehicles unmanned by 2015.
