Autonomous Mobility News™: Lab

Articles published directly here, or promoted from the Editorial™ queue. Nothing reaches the public Latest News page unless its status is Published.

Paste one record per line in the format: Headline | Source | URL. Imported rows land in the Candidate Queue™ with status New — nothing is auto-published.

Discovery → Candidate Queue™ → Editorial Review™ → Published. Nothing publishes automatically.

This is a tagging system, not a scoring system. Add new signal types here at any time — no code changes required.

Sources™ → Gathering Engine™ → Candidate Queue™ → Editorial Review™ → Published News Feed™. For each source with an RSS Feed URL, the engine tries five routes in order: direct browser fetch, then rss2json.com (a JSON API specifically built for browser-side RSS reading — the most reliable route and the one most likely to work from Ghost), then Corsfix, AllOrigins, and CodeTabs as fallbacks. The first route that succeeds is used; the rest are skipped. Nothing publishes automatically. Run the Connection Diagnostic below to see exactly which routes work from your browser.

If pulls aren't producing any results, click this. It checks your browser's fetch support, then tests a real feed (Electrek) through a direct connection and all four CORS relays, one at a time, and reports exactly what happened with each — this stays on screen, unlike the toast notifications.

Two discovery layers work alongside the RSS Pull Engine. GDELT is free, requires no API key, and monitors 65,000+ global news sources in 65 languages — it is the primary discovery backbone. GNews provides a high-quality curated English feed with a free API key (100 requests/day). All discovered items enter the Candidate Queue™ with status New. Nothing publishes automatically.

Queries run against GDELT and GNews when you click a discovery button. Add, edit or deactivate queries at any time — no code changes required.

Placeholder content for the structured learning layer. Editable now, expandable later.

The first Active sponsor below is shown automatically in the masthead "Presented By" bar.

Cloud is the source of truth. The platform pulls automatically on startup. Use these buttons to sync manually after editing or publishing.

Credentials are hard-wired per Development Directive #2. These are read-only reference values.

Export a full JSON snapshot of all data. Import a previous snapshot to restore. Reset returns the platform to seed data only — all articles, candidates and discovery history are cleared.

The Future Intelligence Layer™ will be developed after sufficient signal data has been collected.
