NASA's new electric vehicle prototype is built for drifting
NASA’s new Modular Robotic Vehicle prototype is an advanced electric rover, developed by the space agency in partnership with the car industry, that boasts four liquid-cooled wheel motors, remote control capabilities, and dynamic driver feedback. The battery-powered vehicle could eventually help us explore new worlds — but perhaps more importantly, it’s also capable of some seriously sweet drifts.
The MRV has four separate wheel modules that can turn independently of each other. The setup makes the electric buggy supremely agile — both able to turn as a traditional car would, and rotate its wheels to take off in new directions. It’s also equipped with a remote control system that lets users driver the golf-cart-sized creation without…
