China’s first fully autonomous, commercial robotaxi rides – with no safety drivers – are about to open for public passengers in Wuhan and Chongqing, marking an inflection point for one of the key technological revolutions of the 21st century.Continue R… Continue reading Baidu has China’s first permits for fully driverless robotaxi services
Hundred-billion dollar tech giant Baidu doesn’t just dominate the search engine game in China, it also owns the world’s largest robotaxi company, Apollo Go, which has been taking paying customers in autonomous cabs since 2021 without safety drivers on … Continue reading Baidu reveals its 6th-gen robotaxi, with detachable steering wheel
A lot less technologically optimistic than the Hyperloop-TT Hyperport project, Cargo Sous Terrain looks considerably more likely to happen, with its first 10-stop, 70-km (43-mile) series of underground tunnels scheduled to begin taking cargo in 2031.Co… Continue reading Switzerland’s autonomous underground cargo system aims for 2031 debut
Freight technology company Einride first introduced its cabless autonomous electric T-pod truck back in 2017, which rolled on Swedish roads for the first time a couple of years later. Now the company has been given the green light for operation on publ… Continue reading Cabless autonomous electric truck approved for US public roads
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.
