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.
Did you see Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo Drift.
This reminded me of that for some reason.
I think this was the last film in this franchise that I watched. I didn't have the patience to watch the others, I don't know... 5 films.
If at the time of the film there had been AI to assist the driver in those races, it would have been something really crazy.
LOL that would take a lot of the fun out of it I imagine.
The 5th one was in Brazil. You might like that one. Good story and about the last one worth seeing.
There are things that I don't know if they show the reality of Brazil hahaha...
For example, foreigners know Rio well, but the real Rio de Janeiro is very dangerous and depending on where you enter a street controlled by a faction, you will be killed.
I've never been and I don't intend to go there. Unfortunately, it's where my team plays here, Flamengo, but I don't see myself going there one day.

I'm honestly not excited about watching the rest of the franchise. I don't think I'll be surprised by much.
Nothing will cope with ice better than a quality manual transmission and a quality gasket between the steering wheel and the seat :) !BEER
