The application (parking a car by powersliding) is a nice sizzle for a really interesting (to me at least) steak. The idea of combining closed loop model-based control for the easy-to-model portion of a process with open-loop control for the difficult-to-model portion of a process would have a lot of application in lots of places, but not many people would pay attention to using the technique for, say, controlling a distillation column.
