autonomous navigation
Autonomous navigation is the art of outsourcing human judgement to a black-box algorithm, entrusting lives to fickle GPS signals and capricious sensors. It excels at forging roads that don’t exist, at times racing through quiet suburbs and at others marooning vehicles in deep woods. Proclaimed rational yet collapsing at a single bug, it stands as the digital age’s new object of worship. Bearing dreams of futuristic travel, it nonetheless delivers chaos born of misread road signs. Each AI-driven decision reminds us anew of the human guidance and safety we once took for granted.
