BMW releases new drift challenge: man vs. machine [+video]

BMW Drift Challange

The BMW M235i certainly makes a capable drift machine. Last year, the Bavarian brand had 5 of them with the tail out in unison in South Africa for an epic Driftmob. The BMW M235i coupe even proved that it could slide without the driver’s intervention. For the latest sideways stunt, BMW wanted to know which was the better drifter: an autonomous self-drifting car or a drift champion. Watch the video!

The video below is just the trailer for BMW’s entire drift challenge video, and it seemingly gives away the ending of the whole thing. We’re sure though, that there must be something more to the stunt than what’s on display here.

Watch the video below and you’ll be amazed how quickly autonomous tech is progressing – even on the track.
