BMW Track Trainer

[1] The vehicle is a research project from BMW Group Research and Technology (BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH).

Track Trainer has raced autonomously at Valencia, Hockenheimring, Lausitzring, Zandvoort, Nordschleife,[2] and Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

[3] Track Trainer was covered by Top Gear in a segment during the 2007 season[4] and The Car Show on the third episode of the 2011 season.

Track Trainer uses a combination of GPS and INS data to create a precision position estimate of the vehicle states in real-time.

Vehicle control is commanded to an ideal line recorded by a manually driven reference lap.
