Autonomously drifting DeLorean.
Stanford University Dynamic Design Lab taught a DeLorean to drift on its own.
With the goal of improving how autonomous cars handle emergency maneuvers and bad road conditions like ice, snow, and wet and slippery roads.
Stanford’s Design Lab named its DeLorean Marty.
Marty stands for Multiple Actuator Research Test Bed for Yaw control.
An electric drivetrain, computers, and autonomous systems were added.
The design lab also had to rework the car’s suspension system; they also installed a roll cage.Stanford University Dynamic Design Lab developed an all-electric autonomous DeLorean that can drift on its own.
The aim of the project was to improve autonomous vehicle maneuverability on ice, snow, and wet and slippery roads.
The engine of the DeLorean was removed and replaced with an electric drivetrain.
Computers and autonomous driving systems were also added.
