The Toyota Research Institute and Stanford Engineering have created autonomous tandem drifting Toyota Supras. The research could lead to safer self driving cars.
The Toyota Research Institute and Stanford Engineering have collaborated to create the world’s first autonomous tandem drift cars. The two teams used advanced artificial intelligence technology to automate a pair of Toyota Supra drift cars, enabling them to slide and dance in perfect harmony. And the two groups didn't just make self-driving drift cars because it looks cool; this technology, in fact, may one day be used to make driving safer for everyone.
The second vehicle takes it one step further, reading the movements of the first vehicle as they both drift and responding in a way that prevents it from crashing into it. The AI system learns and adapts over time, just like a professional human driver would. So what's the real world application? Well, controlling a car while drifting is similar to how one does on ice or snow.
