AI models tested driving a car; new domains .agent and .agi opening

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Three engineers attempted to have AI models control a Toyota Corolla to drive to an In-N-Out Burger, with only one model succeeding. The experiment involved using generative pre-trained transformer (GPT), Claude, and Grok to navigate the vehicle. Separately, ICANN is opening applications for new top-level domains, with .agent and .agi expected to be popular. AI

IMPACT Tests show AI's potential and limitations in real-world navigation; new domain names may reflect AI's growing presence.

RANK_REASON AI models were used to control a car, which is a tool application, and the second item discusses domain names, which is a related but distinct tech topic.
