Stewart Alsop III shared a screenshot of an autonomous vehicle's route in Buenos Aires, Argentina: the car made strange loops and U-turns around the Palermo neighborhood (El Salvador, Costa Rica, Aráoz), seemingly ignoring the planned navigation route — "making its own map," as he joked.
It's a curious real-world case of path-planning oddities for self-driving systems operating in unfamiliar city environments.
