Tesla’s long-promised Cybercab is finally beginning to carry members of the public, but its much-anticipated debut is arriving with an unexpected complication: the vehicle is already facing scrutiny from US regulators. The electric automaker is preparing to put its distinctive two-seat, fully autonomous vehicle into service in Austin, Texas. Unlike conventional cars, the Cybercab has […]
dSPACE is expanding the capabilities of its Aurelion software platform with a new solution designed to support the development and testing of driver monitoring systems (DMS). The enhancement brings more detailed simulation of both the vehicle occupant and the infrared cameras commonly used in modern driver monitoring applications. Driver monitoring has become an increasingly important […]
Wayve and Uber have moved closer to launching autonomous ride-hailing services in London after Transport for London (TfL) approved Private Hire Vehicle licences for several of Wayve’s all-electric Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles. The vehicles are equipped with Wayve’s AI Driver technology, along with cameras and radar designed to support autonomous driving. Before receiving their licences, […]
Federal regulators are moving to update vehicle safety rules in a way that could speed up the rollout of fully autonomous vehicles across the U.S. by eliminating a long-standing design requirement. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an agency within the U.S. Department of Transportation, has proposed revising the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards […]
The 2026 Tesla Model Y has become the first vehicle to successfully meet the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) newly introduced safety standards for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). The achievement marks a major milestone for both Tesla and the future of vehicle safety technology in the United States. The updated standards are part […]
Bosch has revealed its latest seventh-generation ultrasonic chipsets—TB193 and TB293—aimed at advancing AI-driven parking and driver assistance technologies. Announced during Auto China in Beijing and detailed on April 24, 2026, the new chips mark a shift toward capturing raw sensor data directly at the source, enabling more precise perception for modern vehicles. Moving Toward Raw […]
Europe’s public transport systems are under mounting pressure, with a shortage of more than 105,000 bus drivers threatening both service reliability and future network expansion. As operators struggle to recruit and retain staff, autonomous vehicle technology is increasingly being seen as a practical way to bridge the gap. In a landmark move, Norway has taken […]
The autonomous driving sector is moving into a more mature commercial stage. The conversation is shifting away from simply proving that driverless technology works, toward refining it—making systems safer, more efficient, and scalable enough to support widespread adoption. Companies are now focused on improving performance at speed while maintaining consistency, which is critical for achieving […]
The race to develop autonomous vehicles is quietly laying the groundwork for something even more transformative: humanoid robots. What began as a push to automate driving is now expanding into a broader vision where machines can operate in the physical world, performing tasks once reserved for humans. Industry leaders increasingly believe this shift could unlock […]
A new collaboration between Wayve, Uber, and Nissan Motor is set to introduce robotaxi services in Tokyo, marking an important step forward for autonomous mobility in Japan. The three companies have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop and pilot robotaxi operations in the Japanese capital, with the goal of launching services later this […]
