Then there's the supplementary module, consistingof irregular intersections that convey information."It's like reading a bar code?""You might call it that, yes; the track is a bar code [see Figure 14]."The vehicle learns by itself, from the track, to locate itself. Nothing is doneby remote control. Matra never wanted to use remote control-for example, tohave the localization sent by the UGT or the pee. Remote control is much toodangerous. The cor has to know where it is on its own."So it knows its own identity, it knows its position, and from this it deducesits own speed and acceleration. At intersections the situation is more complicated,because the platform is interrupted. So there are a lot of little problemsto be resolved."If a car is lost, it's no longer reliable and here it can become dangerous.Sure, obviously, the car con tolerate a mistake, because if the constraints aretoo radical, you stop all the time and nothing works."It transmits this flood of information to the UGT that oversees all the cars inits sector. The UGT sends back all the information to all the cars, and each carA R Mil l S A T TilE efT STAGE
