A car built for extreme handling tests
The host introduces a research vehicle designed to test autonomous performance at the edge of its handling capabilities. The demo begins with a short video.
- 0:55
Why test autonomous drifting
The host says this research could help future cars respond to extreme driving situations. Drifting may also have a role in improving safety.
- 1:09
Track demo and safety checks
Before the ride, the driver is asked to verify that safety systems are active. The host then announces that autonomous mode is on and testing can begin.
- 1:42
How the system maintains a drift
The autonomous system recalculates the car's path at least 20 times per second. It adjusts throttle and steering to keep the car drifting through the course.
- 2:13
Applying lessons from the limits
The host closes by connecting extreme-condition testing with Toyota's goal of building safer cars.
