Tandem drifting Toyotas show how AI might help drivers on slippery roads
Toyota Research Institute (TRI) and Stanford are plugging AI into two Supras that pull off Formula Drift-style tandem driving — but they’re looking for something more important than style points.
In a press release, TRI’s VP of human interactive driving, Avinash Balachandran, says that drifting two cars in tandem autonomously is a “milestone” and has “far-reaching implications for building advanced safety systems” in future passenger vehicles.
