Professional drivers could probably handle extreme road conditions and come out unscathed in the end. For non-professional drivers, however, that statement probably won't be true. They don't have the skills of a pro, after all.
It is no secret that numerous car accidents happen every year, and this makes us ask: how do we prevent car accidents even in extreme situations? The Toyota Research Institute is currently looking for answers to this question, and they have already developed a system that could be a potential solution to preventing said accidents.
In this video, the Toyota Research Institute showcases a prototype vehicle equipped with a new active safety system that enables the car to drift around obstacles autonomously — a technology that temporarily amplifies the skills of a regular driver. The system also can calculate a whole new trajectory every twentieth of a second to maintain the car's balance as it navigates.
We need this technology installed in every car!
