Renault made some big announcements overnight, outlining major changes to its autonomous vehicle strategy and announcing the production (no dates specified) of a robotized electric miniBus based on the New Renault Master.Continue ReadingCategory: Autom… Continue reading Renault announces production of Level 4 autonomous robotized miniBus
The first autonomous car race (27 April 2024) is a really important historic event that appears to have been missed by the main media. We expect the race will birth a fascinating new “television sport” with a fan-base of highly-educated technophiles dr… Continue reading First-ever autonomous motor race streams live this weekend
Australia’s robotic submarine program is a year ahead of schedule as the government takes delivery of the first Ghost Shark Extra-Large Autonomous Undersea Vehicle (XL-AUV) prototype, with three more to follow next year.Continue ReadingCategory: Milita… Continue reading Ghost Shark: The huge stealth advantage of autonomous submarines
Keeping bike paths and roads clear of debris is a necessary but thankless task for sanitation workers. The Robosweeper S1 from WeRide can work alongside street crews, or can work alone to quietly clean up day or night.Continue ReadingCategory: Urban Tr… Continue reading Tiny electric robovan cleans 1 million square feet of road per charge
Whether you’re on a bike or in a car, potholes are a problem. Maintenance is costly and labor intensive, but authorities in the UK have successfully tested an autonomous machine designed to detect and seal surface cracks that can grow into potholes – w… Continue reading Fully autonomous street crawlers could make potholes thing of the past
If you’re comfortable with the present green, amber, and red traffic lights, be prepared to get uncomfortable. New research suggests that adding a white light will speed up traffic and improve safety for both cars and pedestrians.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading The case for four-color traffic signals

The post Commerce Dept. to look at privacy, cyber risks from Chinese-sourced connected vehicle equipment appeared first on CyberScoop.
In an age of increasingly advanced robotics, one team has well and truly bucked the trend, instead finding inspiration within the pinhead-sized brain of a tiny flying insect in order to build a robot that can deftly avoid collisions with very little ef… Continue reading Robot built with ‘insect brain’ can zip around obstacles with ease
A number of companies are now running remote-control rental car services, in which “teledrivers” guide an empty car out to you by remote control, and then you drive it around yourself. It’s a weird halfway step towards fully autonomous robotaxis.Contin… Continue reading Remote-control rental cars: Not as driverless as they look
