The Spanish technology group GMV has tested software from the European Space Agency (ESA) on the Canary Island of Fuerteventura that allows rovers or astromobiles (vehicles designed to move autonomously or manned across the surface of a planet, moon, or other astronomical object to explore the terrain and collect scientific data) to move faster.

Specifically, these tests were completed in Lajares, a town in the municipality of La Oliva, in Fuerteventura, reports EP, to validate an onboard autonomy framework consisting of a mature guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) system, called Fastnav, and a new perception subsystem based on artificial intelligence (AI), called Hawkeye, which uses onboard inference to detect obstacles and hazardous terrains.

No V12 Required: Argentina's Mid-Engine Supercar Packs An American V8 Punch - CarBuzz

Classic gems, tasteful customs, legendary supercars - for Silvian, they're all fair game. He's been in love with cars and motorcycles for as long as he can remember, so it made perfect sense to eventually turn that passion into a full-time writing career. Around six years and more than 3,000 articles later, he is still going strong and doesn't plan on hitting the brakes anytime soon. Argentina is a country known for its natural beauty, soccer legends, and chainsaw-wielding president, but it probably isn’t the first place you’d expect a rad V8 supercar to be developed. However, that assumption might change once you learn about a company called Valtor, the brainchild of engineer-turned-CEO Sergio Arias. He leads a small but ambitious team of designers and engineers like himself, who’d previously caught people’s attention with the Azor GT concept last year. Now they’re back at it once again with the Eaglon, an evolution of the Azor and something that could easily be mistaken for a Ferrari by those who don’t know their automotive lore.

Game developers cancel upcoming public demo out of fear of AI copycats - Mashable

There's currently some tension between the video game industry and the proliferation of AI tools. You can see the evidence of this in a recent development regarding the upcoming indie game Drunken Goddess Reflux. It's a game with the objective of imbibing alcohol until a demon vomits up her soul, a decidedly unique premise that would be hard for any AI to come up with. As spotted by Rock Paper Shotgun, though, the developers had to cancel an upcoming public demo session. The decision is partly due to concerns that AI could quickly clone it for someone else's financial benefit. Instead, they will hold closed sessions for a "limited number of participants. "
