This Delorian is aChris GeldessIt is an autonomous EV "MARTY" produced by a professor's laboratory student. MARTY was developed with the concept of "an automated driving car that can secure safety through accurate handle and accelerator operation even if it falls under dangerous conditions".


Started in 2013 by purchasing the 1981 made Delorian at $ 22,000 (about 2 million yen). It is not hard to imagine that I was aware of the completion of '20th October 21' which is the day of destiny.


Dellorian over 30 years ago decided to electrify as a modern machine.Renovo MotorsThe motor developed jointly with the company said it will demonstrate an amazing torque of 4000 lb · ft (about 5400 N · m).


This is the trunk room.


The center console also has many monitors and switches.


In addition, it seems that Bridgestone provided tires that can withstand drift.


Professor Geddes said, "The ultimate goal of MARTY is to drift alongside and co-operate with the professional driver's machine." With twin drift it is necessary to accurately grasp the distance to the other party and to operate the accelerator and the steering properly and these advanced autonomous driving functions are indispensable for improving the safety of fully automatic driving cars It will be technology.
