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

Three AI engineers at Axiom used OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, a language model, to autonomously drive a 2024 Toyota Corolla to an In-N-Out Burger drive-thru without prior training for driving tasks. This experiment demonstrates emerging physical world understanding by text-based AI models, hinting at future real-world applications and risks.
