It has been dubbed'Britain's most confusing junction', thanks to its complex system of mini–roundabouts. But while many drivers struggle to navigate their way around Swindon's Magic Roundabout, the junction proved to be light work for a self–driving car. To put its Full Self Driving (FSD) mode to the test, Tesla sent a Model 3 through the complex intersection. Footage shows the car expertly navigating the roundabout – not just once, but three times – as cars continuously join from seemingly every direction. Fans have flocked to X to discuss the feat, with one calling it'superb'.

Once a year, the bucolic grounds of Goodwood House in West Sussex, England, are consumed by the smell of exhaust fumes, the sound of engines revving, and an excited crowd of 100,000 people, all wanting a look at the special cars on show. They gather here because Charles Gordon-Lennox, the 11th Duke of Richmond, likes to occasionally open his home to host the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a celebration of all the history, the heritage, and the future of motor racing. This week, among the supercars, hypercars, and pure racing cars, Goodwood visitors will spot a low, black machine streaking in near silence up the winding driveway to the estate, which for the event is transformed into a 1.16-mile hill climb track. "We're pretty sure when the car appears, people will freak out," says Rod Chong, deputy CEO of Roborace. And it will be the first machine to give the hill climb a try without a human in command, so there are some nerves.

A pair of Uber technicians will ride inside each of the new self-driving cars offering rides to regular Uber users during an indefinite beta testing phase. On each vehicle, dozens of stationary and spinning cameras collect 1.4 million distance measurements per second, guiding the car on its journey. Beginning today the cars will be deployed on Pittsburgh's streets in a striking experiment by Uber to introduce self-driving technology to its passengers. "For me this is really important," says Anthony Levandowski, the head of Uber's self-driving car team, "because I really believe that the most important things that computers are going to do in the next 10 years is drive cars." Each of Uber's new self-driving, hybrid vehicles being tested on Pittsburgh, Pa., streets is outfitted with dozens of stationary and spinning cameras that watch for braking cars, crossing pedestrians, traffic lights and signage.
