Plus: ChatGPT behaving like a virtual machine, Cohere launches multi-lingual large language model
In brief Apple’s plans for an autonomous vehicle are being pushed back at least one year to 2026 after Cupertino reportedly scraped its previous designs.
The (kind of) top secret project, known internally as Titan, is an ambitious undertaking even for the world’s most valuable company. Like many others, Apple also wants to be the first to develop a fully autonomous Level 5 self-driving car – requiring no assistance from human drivers, including pedals and steering.
It seems the technology isn’t quite there yet, forcing the company to rethink its design. Apple will now scale back initial plans and add a steering wheel and pedals. Bloomberg first reported. The autonomous car won’t have Level 5 capabilities, and will require drivers to take over in some instances.
Apple has spent years and billions of dollars trying to build an autonomous car, and plans to sell the vehicle to Joe Public for $100,000. If the company is going to start seeing some returns from the project, it’ll have to release something soon.
Netizens continue to be fascinated with OpenAI’s latest language model ChatGPT, posting all the weird and wacky conversations they have had with it.
