The way we move from A to B in cities and beyond is changing. We’re not only seeing automakers commit to an electric future, but also investing in autonomous driving technologies. Electronics giant LG wants in, and is working on a mobile home office or… Continue reading LG looks to autonomous transport future with tech-packed Omnipod
An autonomous race team from the Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) has set a new land speed record for driverless cars, recording a two-way average of 192.2 mph (309.3 km/h) over a flying kilometer (0.62 miles) on a space shuttle airstrip at the Kennedy Space Center.

Fusion Processing has announced that an autonomous public transport project will start on-road testing this week, en route to beginning a new 14-mile pilot service ferrying passengers across a long-span suspension bridge in Scotland later this year.Con… Continue reading First full-size autonomous passenger bus in the UK begins on-road testing
While AUVs (autonomous underwater vehicles) are invaluable for gathering oceanographic data, they also tend to be fairly large and very expensive. The Hydrus offers a much smaller, less costly alternative, which still packs a lot of punch.Continue Read… Continue reading Hydrus packs autonomous ocean exploration tech into a much smaller package
Once the steering wheel is taken out of cars altogether, there will still need to be a way to deal with weird “edge case” situations that an autonomous AI can’t figure out. That may require human drivers to stay on standby, ready to take the wheel by r… Continue reading World-first trial puts remote-controlled passenger cars on UK roads
As the long line of futuristic concepts might demonstrate, the autonomous vehicles carrying us to work and around town in the future might not look much like the cars of today, at least on the inside. The US has today updated its motor safety standards… Continue reading “Historic” US motor safety rule accounts for cars with no steering wheel
Looking to leverage its expertise in camera sensor technology for use in self-driving vehicles, Sony has begun taking small steps into the motoring world in recent years, and now it is turning to an established name to help it gain a proper foothold. T… Continue reading Sony and Honda team up to build electric vehicles
Backcountry ski hills may lack crowds, but they also lack lifts to take skiers back up the slope. The dolaGon Autonomous Ski Lift Vehicle was created with this problem in mind, as it follows skiers down the slope then takes them back to the top for ano… Continue reading dolaGon UTV serves as an autonomous ski lift
Eugene-based electric mobility company Arcimoto has teamed up with Silicon Valley autonomous driving startup Faction Technology to transform its three-wheeled electric Fun Utility Vehicle into a “driverless” pod for last-mile deliveries.Continue Readin… Continue reading Arcimoto trials driverless delivery pod based on three-wheeled electric FUV
There’s a growing number of things we expect from modern automated vehicle technology, but that list definitely does not include going full-blown screeching, smoking drift mode at speed. That’s the benchmark Toyota Research Institute hit recently in a … Continue reading Self-drifting Toyota Supra gets sideways to avoid on-track obstacles
