AI is taking the wheel in ways we never imagined, with the potential to make our roads significantly safer. This promise was recently showcased by Toyota and Stanford University's new project, where AI-powered race cars performed high-speed, synchronized drifts, a maneuver typically reserved for expert human drivers. This remarkable feat not only pushes the boundaries of independent driving but also hints at future applications that could save lives and prevent accidents in everyday driving scenarios.
