Look for a highly modified DeLorean, the specifically-autonomous, self-drifting, electric-powered research vehicle out of Stanford known as MARTY, to make an appearance in a segment of this week's episode of the PBS-TV series "Breakthrough: The Ideas That Changed the World". Sir Patrick Stewart narrates Episode 4, "The Car" on Wed., May 8.
Link to the preview is HERE. (https://www.pbs.org/video/episode-4-preview-car-fzzpby/) with MARTY on the splash and in the clip at 0:07. The PBS page includes a playback link that presumably will become active after the May 8 airing date for those outside of PBS's reach or wanting to watch later.
MARTY has been discussed on other threads here, having had its public rollout over 3 years ago (LINK (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNIDcT0Zdj4&feature=youtu.be)). As of last month MARTY had returned to its home lab at Stanford.
The More Extras link on the PBS preview page includes a longer segment of the show with the professor who oversaw the MARTY project, Chris Gerdes, interviewing Jay Leno in his garage about some other breakthrough car, the Ford Model T.
