Back in the late 70s, my high school driving instructor said "don't tell your parents, but the best way to learn how to control a car is to go out to the school parking lot on a snowy night and spin donuts." Funny that they are finding that artificial intelligence can use the same method.
- xeromal 7y agoHe's not wrong. When there's a solid snow, I love to find an empty parking lot and just do some stupid maneuvers. It really let's you get a feel for what works and what does. Like, if I turn my steering all the way and slam on the brakes. How far do I slide. Where do I end up? It's really good for getting comfortable with all kinds of scenarios
- perl4ever 7y agoI've never tried it with a RWD car, but as a teenager, I thought the behavior of FWD in the snow was really fun. Go around a turn as fast as possible, and push on the gas pedal, it slides towards the outside, front first. Let off on the gas, and the front snaps back to the inside of the turn. I also buried my car in a snowbank more than once and had to dig it out.
