Autonomous Vehicles

Lincoln likes to reflect upon its past when thinking about the future. The Model L100 Concept may be the most dramatic example of that. The concept sends a shockwave through Lincoln's safe design fabric, showing what a bolder Lincoln could look like.
-
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.
-
Chinese tech giant Baidu has released its 6th gen, production-ready electric robotaxi, the Apollo RT6. Set to go into service in 2023, the RT6 represents the first of a new generation of autonomous taxis designed to drive ride costs into the ground.
-
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.
-
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 public roads in the US.
-
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.
-
California's Marine Advanced Robotics has made considerable progress on its remarkable Wave-Adaptive Modular Vessel since we first saw these wild suspension-legged spider-boats 16 years ago on a list of urban legends.
-
The way we move from A to B in cities and beyond is changing. Electronics giant LG wants a slice of our autonomous electric transport future, and is working on a mobile home office or entertainment lounge called the 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 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.
-
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.
-
Cars in Oxford and London have been driven on public roads via remote control, in a world-first demonstration of a "tele-operation" system, showing how operators can take over autonomous cars when they encounter strange situations they can't handle.
