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

look ma! no hands!

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.

Where's the fun in this?

Knew it would be one of you 240 guys to bring this up..

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).

Soon you will be able to get wasted and have your car drive you home!

Soon your car will have lubricated vagina, and you can pound it daily.

.5 seconds of drifting

:dissapointed

:hoax

thats like hella scary seating in a moving car & no one is driving

Lexus came up with self-drifting cars first.

In which case, 99% of "drifters" in Vancouver are not drifters :badpokerface:

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

This.

imagine all those rich kids that could go like "going on the on/off ramp, time to press the self drifting button to look like a total badass!"

Duh, everyone prefers "hoonigan" now
