The Research done by the team at Stanford showed humans are very good at finding the fastest way around a track, they learned this by strapping electrodes to legendary race car driver, John Morton.Morton was a Can-am driver and a class champion at LeMans - the team set up the experiment to monitor electrical activity in Johns' brain - certain patterns show important aspects of what's happening - such as a resting brain shows alpha waves while beta waves indicate visual processing as a sign of mental workload.The team focused on one particular turn at Laguna Saga called the Corkscrew, as expected mental workload was very high during the turn because of the difficulty involved in navigating the turn perfectly. Then, they consider another turn where the car slides out briefly but John corrects it without any change in mental workload, the correction was entirely reflexive and more intuitive. The goal of the teams research is not just to have cars one day chauffeur their drivers to and fro; but to also one day maybe develop cars that would be capable of teaching us every-day drivers how to be the best drivers on the road, by incorporating some autonomy slowly allowing the driver to pick up on how to properly push a car to its limits while handling all the power.For-ever labeled as the PlayStation beast or the point-and-shoot car, the Nissan GTR may be a prime target for just such programming!
