00:00It's downhill descent but also it climbs as well for you. So it's almost like a
00:05adjustable cruise control for four-wheel driving, which is quite a cool
00:11system. So basically this is the end of where we'll be on the self-drive course.
00:15Normally when you're driving you'll head up to the left there. We're gonna make
00:19quite a drop here off down to the right. So right now I'm gonna engage my
00:26cross-track which is pretty simple to do. It's pushed out once and then come off
00:29the brake now. It will now crawl for me. I can adjust the speed and stuff via the
00:35dial down here. So now kind of one very slow I can dial up to two and it just
00:40allows it to then control the speed of the car as I drop off the edge here.
00:44Making sure I position my wheel and ice them safely.
00:48Watch out for the tree. Again that's all about doing it for me. If it's too slow like it probably is now,
00:55up the speed a little bit and then it'll literally just cruise down there for me.
01:00If I'm too fast I can just pick that back again and control the speed that way.
