Researchers found a substantial safety advantage in four cities

On the prototypes, you can clearly see the typical supervision hardware with the cameras in the side mirrors and above the front wheels (visible in the first shot of the youtube video) but this is not present on the revealed vehicles.

It is the first time a federal ministry letter has named a specific concern about the software.

Sept 24 (Reuters) - Tesla’s FSD automated-driving system frequently exceeded speed limits and attempted to overtake cyclists on streets where ‌it's prohibited, a road-safety advocacy group said, citing tests it conducted in Belgium.

The Tesla Cybercab has landed in Texas. The American EV manufacturer recently held an event to launch the car in Austin, Texas, with the new autonomous vehicles entering service. Judging by a video shared on X, Tesla is not going to do this by halves either.

Hungarian Tesla owners are urging the government to approve Full Self-Driving Supervised before an EU-wide decision, as seven member states, most recently Czechia, have already moved ahead. The appeal comes as Tesla’s regional performance grows uneven, while Chinese carmakers gain ground and European rivals close gaps in range, charging and pricing, making software increasingly important for the company.

First LLM to pass test did it in a parking lot at snail's pace, at considerable expense, but it still counts for something

The council is considering an ordinance that would require autonomous vehicle companies to pay a “human monitor” — a licensed driver — to sit in the driver’s seat of their vehicles. Companies would also need to get a license to operate from the city. That would apply to Waymo, a driverless taxi company currently testing out the roads in Minneapolis.

Leo Wang, CFO of Pony.Ai, said when the AI technology is on an upward trajectory it will accelerate further before it slows down.

Stranded in six-lane traffic, surrounded by agents, my autonomous vehicle refused to budge. This is what happened next.

Manufacturer exhibits driverless vans for deliveries, waste collection at IAA show

Uber is leveraging its network of human drivers as a core asset in the competition for autonomous taxis: scheduling both human drivers and self-driving vehicles within the same app, using human labor to fill the gaps in autonomous driving capacity, in order to compete against closed fleets like Waymo and Tesla that only use self-driving cars.

Only the $64,990 XPeng L03 AWD Performance Ultra carries the three Turing AI chips needed for NGP driver assistance. The cheaper variants get XPilot, with no hardware upgrade path indicated.

Lucid Technologies President Kay Stepper tells Torque News Bolt's 25,000 robotaxis are incremental to consumer Midsize demand. That raises the stakes on a platform already delayed into 2027 and a deal that is still nonbinding.

Self-driving systems are getting so good that drivers may overestimate the technology and not prepared to respond when something goes wrong.

A simple pattern of black-and-white stripes could cause an autonomous vehicle or robot to misjudge how far away an obstacle is, potentially triggering an unexpected maneuver or even a collision, according to new University of Florida research.

Rather than chase billions of real-world road miles, Raquel Urtasun is building an A.I. system that learns in simulation and adapts across vehicles and driving environments.

Private and public sectors need to join efforts to make robotaxi deployment a smoother affair, says Geotab’s Edward Kulperger.

"We’ve signed a definitive production agreement to integrate the Wayve AI Driver into future Mercedes-Benz vehicles, bringing intelligent and scalable driving assistance technology to more consumers. As part of a multi-year technical collaboration, we’ve integrated the AI Driver into the Mercedes-Benz production system architecture using their HW & MB.OS - watch us driving around the world in DE, US, & UK"

Tesla FSD is level 2, Waymo is level 4, and Mercedes’ now discontinued product was level 3. But FSD drives better than any of them and I would trust it more than any of them. Bring on the downvotes. I know the truth hurts. Sorry. 🤷‍♂️
