Preparing the Car for Autonomous Drifting: Project Phases

The BlockchainSports Drift project continues to advance, with one of the ambitious goals being the creation of an autonomous car capable of performing complex drift maneuvers and competing in drift events alongside real drivers. The preparation of the car for this task is already well underway, and the team is making significant progress toward realizing this vision.

Test Car and 3D Scanning

The first step toward autonomous drifting was acquiring a test car, a BMW E46. The car was fully disassembled, and the team conducted a 3D scan of the entire interior. This provided detailed data necessary for designing the autonomous control system and integrating all required components.

Designing Autonomous and Safety Systems

Currently, the team is working on designing the autonomous driving system for the car. In addition, emergency safety systems are being developed to allow the pilot to remotely intervene and take control of the car if needed. The pilot will be able to press a button and take over driving in case of any unforeseen situations.

Driver Training and AI Learning

In parallel with technical development, BlockchainSports Drift drivers continue to train on the track. All their actions are meticulously recorded and analyzed, with the data used to train the AI that will eventually control the autonomous car. Programmers are actively working on creating the artificial intelligence and are already testing it in virtual environments to perfect the algorithms.

Next Steps

The arrival of all ordered components and parts for the autonomous car is expected soon. Once the safety system is designed and integrated, the team plans to conduct the first test runs. During these tests, the pilot will be able to intervene in the driving process, ensuring additional safety.

The BlockchainSports Drift project, aimed at creating an autonomous car for drifting, promises to be a significant milestone in the development of motorsport technology. Stay tuned for updates, and don't miss the first autonomous drift run!
