In the Marvel movies, one of Tony Stark's greatest inventions is his AI assistant J.A.R.V.I.S, who is always on hand to offer some helpful or sarcastic advice. Ever since Iron Man hit the silver screen in 2008, nerds and the chronically disorganised alike have been dreaming of the day they could have a Jarvis of their own. Now that dream is a little closer to reality thanks to DS Automobiles' launch of an in-car AI assistant named Iris. While it might not come with a flying suit, Iris is the first attempt to integrate ChatGPT into a vehicle and claims to be the perfect driving companion. MailOnline got behind the wheel of the new AI-inspired automobile to give it a try.

These are the craziest, most futuristic cars created by artificial intelligence tool, DALL.E. DALL.E is a new AI system that can artificially draw some of the most realistic images based on whatever keywords you feed it. We plugged in some crazy search terms, like'armored Ferrari', 'off-road Bugatti', and'futuristic flying car', and this is what it came up with. While some are super realistic, some are just out-of-this-world bizarre. First, we asked DALL.E to show us what it believes the future of flying cars will look like.

Using a technique called parametric design or generative design, automotive designer Ayoub Ahmad created the HV-001 by defining a set of conditions and allowing 3D algorithms to create an organic-looking automobile to fulfill those conditions. If the design looks almost like a skeleton, that's no coincidence because natural evolution works the same way too – it designs skeletons based on a certain set of conditions. Humans have strong heels and tailbones for standing and sitting, birds have lightweight skeletons for flying, and goats have strong skulls for occasionally headbutting. The car's chassis itself becomes its body, with an exoskeletal framework that's so organic and beautiful, it would be a shame to hide it under a fascia. The HV-001's unique exterior tries to achieve strength and aerodynamism with as little material as possible, resulting in open spaces where material isn't necessary, and connective pillars in places that take on gravitational stress, physical loads, or mechanical pressure.

Wednesday marked the second official day of the Consumer Electronics Show - and with it brought an incredible look at the future of data, city life, and autonomous cars. Firms including Nissan and Toyota displayed stunning concept cars, while visitors of Intel's exhibit were given a chance to walk through an interactive '5G tunnel.' The day wasn't entirely without setbacks; around 11 a.m., the Las Vegas Convention Center's Central Hall experienced a major blackout, leaving big-name brands and thousands of attendees in total darkness. After about two hours, however, the lights came back on and the show was up and running once again. Once exhibitors were able to get the lights back on, stunning displays were once again back in action.

Endurance racing is already full of fascinating approaches to making a prototype racer lap quickly, but if the Michelin Design Challenge is anything to go by, it's positively tame compared to the grid we can expect in 2030. The winners each take a different angle on what the Le Mans racer of the future will look like, using tech from artificial intelligence to tire-mounted batteries to gain an edge on the competition.
