Truly flexible AI driving tech has taken a step forward this with the formation of an alliance of Uber, Wayve and Stellantis to move the technology forward. Who stands to gain most? And should Waymo be worried?

Tesla’s certification documents submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency have revealed all that was previously under wraps. From the weight, to the motor and the battery, we now know quite a bit ... outside of its autonomous capabilities.

Lightship became one of the first self-powered trailer pioneers to market last summer. Now it's launching a different type of self-driving electric trailer, one that could have an even bigger impact on how the world tows than the original AE.1.

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?

In 25 years of riding scooters, I've never really been excited about this category of two-wheelers until now. And at the moment, a Chinese upstart called Omoway has got me especially hot and bothered with its self-balancing Omo X.

Silicon Valley has stepped in to do what the global RV industry has been struggling to do. Pebble is delivering the world's first production self-propelled, self-hitching motorized trailer, and with it, a new feature guaranteed to improve RV trips.

The self-driving ID. Buzz is a fully autonomous van created and engineered by Volkswagen’s mobility-focused sub-brand, MOIA. Unlike retrofitted cars, the ID. Buzz has been built from the ground up specifically for mobility services.

Credit where it's due: Tesla CEO Elon Musk promised his company would launch a robotaxi service this June, and it actually rolled out self-driving cabs in Austin over the weekend. Too bad you'll probably have a hard time hailing one at the moment.

Amazon subsidiary Zoox is ramping up production of its robotaxis ahead of its launch in Las Vegas later this year. It's flung open the doors to its second facility that's set up to roll out 10,000 of its driverless four-passenger vans annually.

Dual-mode vehicles that can travel on roads and rails have been around for a while now, but in 2025, we're going autonomous: a Utah-based startup is set to pilot its driverless road-rail vehicle on California's Skunk Train route this year.
