Drifting is already cool, but autonomous derivation in the name of science is much nicer. The Toyota Research Institute has partnered with Stanford University to develop safer cars for regular drivers, obtaining its own 2021 GR Supra. Let’s lead you why.
As the Toyota website says, “Engineers are doing research on how to combine the instincts of professional drivers and automatic driving technology. Their goal is to design a new level of active safety technology and share it widely so that Toyota and other automakers can deploy it on the road. ”
In other words, professional drivers have spent their lives developing their reflexes. These skills often have to do with reflexes and intuition, which are things that a computer is still struggling to reproduce – especially at high speeds or in challenging circumstances. Using those professional drivers to teach autonomous systems how to work better in situations where they have to make quick decisions.
He’s also damn sorry.
“Every day, there are fatal accidents resulting from extreme situations in which most drivers would need superhuman skills. avoid a collision, ” Gill Pratt, CEO of TRI and chief scientist at Toyota, said. “The reality is that every driver has vulnerabilities and, in order to avoid an accident, drivers often have to make maneuvers that exceed their capabilities.”

Toyota notes that most driving does not require the superhuman skills mentioned above, but it is always good to plan for extreme situations. Accidents at highway speeds require quick reflexes. At the moment, autonomous cars know how to solve these situations, but the whole goal now is to avoid them altogether.
