Claim 7:
8. A vehicle comprising:
an ECU including machine executable instructions in non-transitory memory to:
initiate a stable drift for the vehicle; and
in response to manual control operations performed by a driver of the vehicle during the stable drift, provide corrective assistance in order to prevent the vehicle from entering an unstable drift, or in response to simulated drift maneuvers performed by a driver of the vehicle during the stable drift, control the vehicle in a manner that prevents the vehicle from entering an unstable drift; by sending drift control signals to one or more of a steering-by-wire system, a throttle-by-wire system, a clutch-by-wire system, and a brake-by-wire system, each communicating manual control operations and simulated drift maneuvers performed by the driver to the ECU, and actualizing drift control signals sent by the ECU.
