AI Takes the Wheel to In-N-Out
Wednesday 30th September, 2026
Three engineers put GPT-6 Astra, Claude and Grok in control of a Toyota Corolla, with a safety driver ready to brake, and asked them to navigate to an In-N-Out drive-through. The fast-food run gave them a playful real-world test of whether general-purpose AI could handle physical tasks—and a simple parking-lot course showed just how uneven the models’ driving skills were.
Why it worked: It staged a high-stakes, visual A/B test—pitting name-brand models head-to-head in a real car—yielding clear, surprising, benchmarkable results.
The lesson: Consider a live, measurable showdown that puts rival solutions in a risky-but-controlled real-world task, with a simple scorecard and video.
