See: Toyota Supra drifts completely autonomously [VIDEO]

Don’t you feel comfortable with the idea of ​​a car that navigates through traffic independently? Then you probably don’t want to be in a Toyota Supra that drifts around at a completely computer-controlled pace…

During a demonstration day in California, the Toyota Research Institute (TRI) introduced the world to what is going on behind the scenes. As part of this, it allowed international journalists to sit in a Toyota Supra packed with autonomous technology. That demonstration vehicle was not developed to steer its occupants through traffic in peace, but to drift wildly around without you having to do anything yourself.

Or does the fun of walking around disappear completely? Probably yes, although we can well imagine that this must also be a special experience. According to Toyota, it is important to learn artificial intelligence to drive at the absolute limit. Assistance systems that use AI Such skills should help drivers and occupants avoid accidents or suddenly appearing obstacles under extreme conditions, including slippery conditions. In any case, the video below clearly shows that an algorithm assisted by an extensive set of sensors is also perfectly capable of making a Toyota Supra go sideways in a controlled manner. For safety reasons, there was someone behind the wheel, but if we can believe Toyota, this undoubtedly skilled driver did not take the steering wheel himself.
