Drifting Like a Pro: Studying Professional Drivers to Precisely Control Vehicle Drifts

Autonomous vehicles should be able to maintain control in scenarios that push them beyond the traditional limits of handling. Especially in situations when the rear tires are sliding, and the vehicle is drifting because the natural dynamics become unstable and can cause the vehicle to spin, endangering the safety of the occupants and others on the road. In this webinar we’ll discuss how we can study professional drivers and improve the state of the art of autonomous drifting controllers.
