BMW Track Trainer
Until this system will be used on everyday vehicles, which means that the cars will be able to communicate between each other and drive themselves, the Bavarians decided to reveal some demonstration footage with BMW Track Trainer at the Laguna Seca circuit in California, USA.
Besides the possibility to drive itself, the German system provides information on the center console which let the driver know how close he was to a perfect turn or line. A sophisticated algorithm needs to take into consideration a bunch of details such as the vehicle’s speed, grip, braking force, suspension load and more in order to properly handle the situation.

Even this sounds pretty complicated, the BMW Track Trainer has already around 12,000 miles of testing which means that BMW did a great job and succeeded to develop a system that not just drives the model but it enhances the performance to almost perfection. Besides the Laguna Seca circuit, the BMW Track Trainer has been tested at other circuits in Germany such as Nordschleife and Hockenheim, one of the few tracks learned by the German model.Thanks to the people at DrivesTV, which reviewed the BMW Track Trainer, we can actually see how the innovative system that fits the BMW 330i does its job at Laguna Seca.
