Ford''s "Intelligent Speed Limiter" tech will be able to read speed limit signs and keep your car at that speed, or alter your speed to the new limit.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial.
