Humanity has made plenty of great technological advancements, but none have been as awesome as this.
Created by the Dynamic Design Lab at Stanford University in the States, this all-electric '80s DMC DeLorean was built to demonstrate the how far automotive autonomy has come, and how skillful cars can be when dealing with cross-directional control and stabilisation.
Or maybe that's how they pitched it...
While the car goes through hundreds of thousands of calculations per second in order to hold an awesomely-calibrated drift angle of +/- 40° (while also dealing with wheel friction and yaw rates as high as 120 degrees per second), BMW hit the autonomous drifting milestone first at CES in 2014.
Still, the DeLorean would offer a pretty sweet exit out of graduation.
What else should we automate to go sideways? Tell us in the comments.
