BMW unveils self drifting car
Nope, not just self driving. BMW recently showcased new technology in a M235i that drifts the car around a track without any human input.

Having the rear kick out from a wet patch =/= drifting

Cool. But I hope it doesn't get into the cars because a) if you're a car enthusiast you probably want to drift yourself. b) because a large number of people in richmond drive BMWs.

Well I don't think they're actually gonna ever come out with self drifting cars. But I'm pretty sure they're using this to test out technology to save self driving cars from unwanted loss of control (such as a wet patch or something).

But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

OH FUCK YOU OH OH OOOOH~

Cool idea, but thanks, I would rather drive my car than buy an overpriced taxi.

i think most of you guys are thinking to far into this, most car manufacturer do stuff like this just to show you what they are capable of..

look at Hondas Asimo robot..


technology like this and other smart cruise control systems can and will be used as safety devices. so i dont have any complains of a car company showing off a little.

walk before you can run right? this is still new

I think self driving cars could be the answer to all our problems with Richmond though
