Tesla offered to change the name, according to a statement by the German Transport Ministry.

Three engineers put GPT, Claude, and Grok in charge of a real car. Only one of them was successful.

Self-driving cars from Waymo, Zoox, and Tesla are studded with cameras and sensors. Some of them are pointing at riders. One afternoon this past summer, a self-driving Waymo pulled into a parking lot in San Mateo County, California, and stayed there until the police arrived.

It looked like two teens were shooting a black handgun out the window of the vehicle, playing with it and drinking between shots, a police report said.
