via automation

After going up in the gondola and appreciating how smooth the ride was (in part, thanks to automatic control!), lets quickly grab a coffee before we ascend the mountain.

In this second stage we leave the valley and move a bit higher up. Of course, we could walk or climb, but let us enjoy a remarkable piece of engineering and catch a gondola (cable car).

We start our hike in a typical Swiss valley: tidy green fields, some cozy chalets, but most importantly, a herd of curious cows that welcomes us.

In our new series of explainers, let Wouter Jongeneel walk you through both Switzerland and automatic control.
