Toyota Research Institute and Stanford University developed self-driving cars that use AI for controlled drifting, aiding future driver-assistance systems.

Toyota Research Institute (TRI) and Stanford University have developed a pair of self-driving cars that use AI to perform controlled drifting, a maneuver that could aid future driver-assistance systems. The two autonomous vehicles demonstrated the tandem drift at Thunderhill Raceway Park in California. Researchers found that the physics of drifting is similar to the behavior of cars on snow or ice, and the tech can help manage a driver's loss of control.
