It can be driven from a browser, make navigation decisions using a locally hosted vision model, fall back to onboard obstacle avoidance, and report what it sees and why it chose its next move.</p> <p>It has also tried to run away, browned out its own camera controller, crashed under too many network connections, driven into corners, and forced me to redesign the turret six times.</p>
