Autonomous Mini Rally Car Teaches Itself to Powerslide

There was a moment where the robot accidentally did a Scandinavian flick (4:34 or so). I wonder if did that through random pattern injection, and could learn from it.

I suppose it comes up naturally, emerging from a typical situation: exit previous corner slightly past the edge (for whatever reason such as unexpected surface) so counter for recover, but wait a corner is coming, so counter again to set up for the coming turn.

If it turns out to be faster, the machine will have learned it serendipitously.
