Autonomous Vehicles

The first Tesla Cybercab has officially rolled off the production line, and yes, it comes without a steering wheel or pedals. It will operate on Tesla's Full Self-Driving system, and it seems we won't have to wait too long for mass production to begin.

What was once deemed a set of “optional” safety features on cars may soon become permanent, whether you like it or not. This comes at a time when some want more and more safety features, while others find them too intrusive to enjoy manual driving.

South Metro Atlanta is set to become home to a demonstration pilot for a publicly accessible automated transit network using autonomous electric vehicles on dedicated guideways – promising to deliver rail-like capacity at bus-fare prices.

Startup Pliyt wants to revolutionize urban transportation with a rideshare where nobody sees or bothers you. Its autonomous taxi has four pods designed to create an experience of privacy and comfort that makes even the most introverted feel at home.

Most fully autonomous cars are being deployed in commercial settings, such as those used by driverless-ride providers like Waymo. However, a new company called Tensor plans to bring an L4 robocar to consumers next year, and it looks damn impressive.

Today's autonomous vehicles rely on cameras, and radar and LiDAR sensors to understand their surroundings and avoid obstacles. Teradar believes it can beat those technologies at their own game by looking elsewhere on the electromagnetic spectrum.

Why have just one technological breakthrough when you can have two at the same time? The Royal Navy has installed for the first time a quantum clock into its XV Excalibur robotic submarine for extended precise underwater navigation.

Oshkosh Defense is upgrading its Palletized Load System vehicles for transporting cargo across battlefields with the ability to drive themselves – providing a critical advantage to troops moving supplies to where they're needed most during conflicts.

BAE Systems has teamed up with Forterra to develop a new autonomous Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) prototype that has been fast tracked for live demonstrations next year as part of a program to enhance the US Army's Armored Brigade Combat Team.

It may resemble a minimalist aluminum catamaran with Cybertruck overtones, but BlackSea Technologies’ Modular Attack Surface Craft (MASC), being offered to the US Navy as a multi-mission autonomous warship, has more to it than meets the eye.

Full self-driving. Tesla’s astonishingly wild promise seems to have gone off the rails. Apparently, Tesla has changed the meaning of FSD, and it sounds an awful lot like the company is giving up on its promise. Will it ever happen?

After over a decade of research, development, and testing, Amazon's Zoox has kicked off its commercial robotaxi service – beginning with the Las Vegas Strip and several surrounding attractions. And for the moment, rides are free.
