So they try to interest investors in their new algorithms, and stage a demonstration to show that you can’t make one of their cars kill someone, however hard you try. It goes fatally wrong.

In the past, researchers have only been able to program ... robots to work together is difficult, with a lot of algorithmic and technical challenges, he says. Fancy robots with wheels, odometers ...

then adapt to other tasks with no additional programming. The team thinks that this algorithm might allow the creation of prosthetics and robots that can interact with complex and changing ...
