Toyota built a Supra that can drift itself

This specially modified sports car is a testbed for a future safety technology that could give your average motorist racecar-driver skills.

Craig brought 15 years of automotive journalism experience to the Cars team. A lifelong resident of Michigan, he's as happy with a wrench or welding gun in hand as he is in front of the camera or behind a keyboard. When not hosting videos or cranking out features and reviews, he's probably out in the garage working on one of his project cars. He's fully restored a 1936 Ford V8 sedan and then turned to resurrecting another flathead-powered relic, a '51 Ford Crestliner. Craig has been a proud member of the Automotive Press Association (APA) and the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA).

Able to snake its way around a track sideways, this Supra could help develop future safety features.

The idea here is that autonomous-drift tech could give average motorists the skills of a racing driver.
