The Toyota Research Institute has partnered with Stanford University to incorporate artificial intelligence into two Toyota Supra sports cars, enabling synchronized driving similar to Formula drifting. This innovation not only showcases an impressive performance but also marks a milestone in the development of safety systems for passenger vehicles. Through the AI system, the two cars can assist drivers in better controlling their vehicles under extreme conditions, solving and analyzing problems up to 50 times per second, and quickly deciding on the most appropriate steering, throttle, and brake commands. During track tests, this system achieves precision through real-time communication.
