As a seasoned gamer and automotive enthusiast with years of virtual drifting experiences under my belt, I must say that the recent achievement by Toyota Research Institute (TRI) and Stanford Engineering in autonomous tandem drift is nothing short of astonishing. Having spent countless hours mastering the art of drifting in various racing games, I can attest to the complexity and precision required to execute this maneuver successfully.
1) In an exciting development, Toyota Research Institute (TRI) in collaboration with Stanford Engineering, have made a pioneering stride in autonomous driving: the first-ever fully autonomous tandem drifting using a couple of GR Supras. TRI highlights that this remarkable accomplishment, achieved after almost seven years of joint research, is a major step towards improving road safety.
Using AI technology, Avinash Balachandran, TRI’s Human Interactive Driving vice president, explained that we can make two cars drive side by side autonomously. This intricate racing move, once automated, could bring significant advancements to the safety features of future vehicles.
Chris Gerdes, a mechanical engineering professor and co-director of Stanford’s Center for Automotive Research, explained the real-world significance of the research, noting, “The principles of drifting share resemblance with driving on snow or ice. The insights gained from this project have paved the way for innovative methods to manage autonomous vehicles effectively in such environments.”
In the tandem drifting sequence, a lead car and a following car closely follow one another on a track, constantly pushing their limits. Through a neural network tire model, AI gains knowledge from past experiences, mimicking an accomplished driver. At Thunderhill Raceway Park in California, researchers carried out tests using two GR Supras that were specially modified with advanced sensors and communication systems.
As a seasoned gamer, I’d rephrase it like this: “This tech knows when to step in, keeping me in check like a pro driver during a drift. It’s incredible what AI can do to make our cars more secure and reliable.”
