Toyota Corolla

Toyota plans to offer its Corolla, the world's best-selling car, as a fully electric model. The move would put the company's biggest nameplate into the EV market and marks a notable shift in Toyota's electrification strategy. Commenters are debating whether Toyota is genuinely committing to EVs or hedging after years of favoring hybrids, and what an electric Corolla means for the wider mass-market car market.

Tech workers in San Francisco connected ChatGPT to a Toyota Corolla and had it navigate a parking lot using an off-the-shelf language model with no prior driving training. Only one model managed to complete the course. The experiment is drawing attention for showing both the potential and the limits of using general-purpose AI for real-world control tasks.
