A fully autonomous, commercial robo-taxi service with no backup drivers is about to launch in San Francisco, after the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued its first-ever Driverless Deployment Permit to GM subsidiary Cruise.Continue Rea… Continue reading California permits Cruise to launch fully driverless taxi services
California’s Marine Advanced Robotics has made considerable progress on its remarkable Wave-Adaptive Modular Vessel (WAM-V) since we first saw these wild spider-boats 16 years ago on a list of urban legends. Legends and photoshops they were not – indee… Continue reading Spider-legged WAM-V suspension boats float over the waves
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
