NASA is making an AI-based GPS for space
Today, all you have to do to find your way around a new city is fire up Google Maps, Waze, or one of the many other GPS-based navigation apps available. Follow the steps, and, bam, you get where you need to go. We don't have that same luxury in space. But now, researchers from NASA's Frontier Development Lab (FDL) and Intel are working to change that. They've found a way to make it just as easy to navigate a new planet -- they just needed a little help from artificial intelligence (AI) to do it.
