HUH? BMW Creates First Self-Drifting Car To Exercise Technology Limits

BMW has altered the face of performance car driving with the unveiling of a new autonomous driving system that allows the driver to go hands off – not only in a straight line, but also in extreme situations, including wild oversteer drifts around a race track.

Demonstrated on a prototype version of the soon-to-be-introduced M235i coupé at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on the sidelines of this week’s CES event, the new system has been developed by BMW’s forward-thinking Technik division in Munich, Germany as part of an on-going program that aims to make selected future models fully autonomous by the end of the decade.

Now we wont be able to say If a BMW driver is good or is just using the nanny to take care of everything. Is like the artificial sound of the M5 yo give you the feel of a great sound...ha ha. But for dummy drivers...wow is whole new world and honestly from the security perspective...this is one of greatest achievement in the car industry. Great BMW engineering as always.
