Engineers from the American Institute of Stanford have built a fully autonomous car capable of performing complex maneuvers without a driver. Given the car that was taken as a basis, the development simply could not be called anything other than MARTY - Multiple Actuator Research Test bed for Yaw control.
The main goal of creating the car is to understand how autonomous control systems will behave in non-standard road conditions - on ice, snow, sand, wet asphalt, etc. For confident driving of an unmanned vehicle in a skid, the car was heavily modified - the ICE was replaced by electric traction, the suspension was completely redesigned, and computing modules were installed. Thanks to this, the car, built back in 2015 and then first drove "sideways", still shows benchmark results in terms of accuracy and stability of movement.
