Electric DeLorean pushes the limits of self-driving tech with flawless drifting
Stanford engineers have somehow taken the iconicDeLoreanand made it even cooler, by teaching the vehicle self-driving capabilities to flawlessly drift through a racecourse. The DeLorean, which left its mark on the movie industry through the Back to the Future series, is now also turning heads in the self-driving technology space. Appropriately, Stanford’s version of the sleek vehicle is named MARTY, after Michael J. Fox’s character Marty McFly. Jonathan Goh, a mechanical engineering doctorate graduate from Stanford, led a team from the university’s Dynamic Design Lab to createMARTY, a 1981 DeLorean that was converted into an all-electric, self-driving, drifting machine....
