Seen many videos of fast cars (mustangs especially lol) accelerating in a straight line and then losing control and going into the curb/crowd. What would cause it to do that when the wheels are just pointed straight ahead?
How does one prevent or control this?
In: Engineering
Usually those cars are rear wheel drive. When drivers push the pedal too hard the back wheels roll faster than the rest of the car. When 1 contact surface (the tires) is moving faster than another surface we call that “sliding” so that’s what the rear is doing.
