Three engineers put GPT, Claude, and Grok in charge of a real car. Only one of them was successful. Aditya Ramabadran, Simon Mahns, and Tobias Gessler, three AI engineers at a startup called Axiom, recently fancied In-N-Out Burger for lunch. They weren't about to drive themselves, though.

Faisal Islam: Chancellor's attempts to boost vibes may limit tax rises The chancellor may have thought about shifting the venue of his first major speech this morning. It was an absolute and total coincidence that he chose to make it in the Coventry Manufacturing and Technology Centre (MTC), just a few minute's drive from the city's totemic HQ of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR). In the event, no one was pulling punches. The 4,000 office-based job losses at JLR were confirmed as John Healey answered questions a few miles away. Healey chose to lean into it as an example of the global turbulence against which the UK needs more resilience. The difference between this chancellor and his predecessor was he also feels that stressing fiscal discipline should instil confidence in consumers, businesses and investors, and not sap it away amid rolling fears of tax hikes.

Jaguar Land Rover's decision to shed 4,000 jobs comes after the carmaker has travelled down a very rough road. The company has seen sales fall in all of its major markets and it has been dealing with the consequences of a devastating cyber-attack that paralysed production last year. At the same time, it has been investing billions in an effort to reinvent itself for an electric future, in which it is likely to face intense competition from aggressively expanding Chinese brands. Executives have now decided a major overhaul is needed. One of the main concerns for JLR is China.

The board of German car giant Volkswagen has approved a plan to cut another 50,000 jobs as part of a sweeping turnaround programme. It brings the total number of roles the company plans to shed by 2030 to 100,000. The group - which includes Audi, Porsche, Skoda as well as the VW brand - said in March that it would cut 50,000 roles by the end of the decade. The move is a strong signal for the future of the firm, which is taking responsibility for our entire workforce, VW's chief executive Oliver Blume said in a statement on Thursday. Blume told the BBC in July that the firm was looking to make the additional cuts.
