Thanks to Toyota, future safety systems may be able to handle as good as professional racing drivers.
Toyota and its team at the Toyota Research Institute have developed a Supra capable of performing perfect drifts on its own.
Seeing the car in action is certainly cool to watch, but the goal for researchers is a serious one. They are looking to develop a self-driving system capable of performing in extreme situations, something that could be a boon for next-generation stability control systems. Imagine you're driving and you hit a patch of black ice, causing your car to skid. At this point the stability control system could take over to help get the car back on track.
Toyota said the system it's developing could also be used to avoid sudden obstacles, for example if you're driving and suddenly there's an accident ahead, the car could perform an evasive maneuver. That's because the system is designed to allow a vehicle to drive beyond the limit of traction, where the vehicle is skidding but in a controllable way.The Supra drift car the researchers are using has computer-controlled steering, throttle, gear changes, and individual wheel braking.
