For the first time, an AI fighter pilot faced off against a human
pilot in a “dogfight” using actual jets in the air — a huge milestone
in autonomous flight and military automation.

Eight teams will use identical Dallara Super Formula SF23 cars with
the same autonomous technology stack, so like with any single marque
race series, it's entirely down to the driver. This is a Grand Prix
for software engineers. Each team can only utilize its coding skills,
AI algorithms, and machine learning software expertise to teach the
cars how to drive ... fast.

Still in the testing phase, but if AI can control F16s and race cars
at the human level (or better) then the Singularity must really be
near!
