These Researchers Made AI Drive a Toyota Corolla to Get In-N-Out

Three engineers connected a laptop to a 2024 Toyota Corolla's cameras and power steering and let GPT-6 Astra navigate a drive-thru. The model, which was not trained to drive, steered the car through the line while a safety driver kept a foot over the brake. It is part of a push to test whether language based AI can reason about the physical world, a skill robots will need.
