Self-Driving

I first learned to drive when I was around 10 years old and had a driver’s license by the time I was 16. AI is now about 73 years old and still can’t drive. What gives?

Tesla has been granted a ride-hail permit in California by the state's Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), paving the way for the EV giant to make good on its promise to launch a robotaxi service in the near future.

Italy has produced many of the fastest drivers on the planet, and now the fastest car-driving AI too. Self-driving software from the country's largest science university has set a new record for the quickest speed achieved in an autonomous car.

Stellantis, which counts Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler among its portfolio of automobile brands, says its Level 3 automated driving tech is ready to take over the wheel and let you take your eyes off the road safely.

Electric car maker BYD is set to equip all its models with its advanced 'God's Eye' autonomous driving system, the company announced earlier this week. That could put it firmly ahead of Tesla, which is still waiting for the official nod to proceed.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk says the company will launch a fleet of autonomous vehicles that will operate as taxis with no driver behind the wheel in Austin, Texas, in June. He previously promised self-driving cabs by 2020, so maybe don't hold your breath.

Known for some of the shiniest luxury trailers available, Bowlus has been slowly moving downmarket. It continues with the 2025 Rivet, an entry model that still packs off-road upgrades, an off-grid lithium battery and available remote-control parking.

Lexus won't be needing conveyor belts once the "gigacast" chassis of its next-gen electric cars is put together; the company has announced it's introducing a "self-driving assembly line," where cars will autonomously move between stations.

Zoox has announced the deployment on open public roads of its purpose-built electric robotaxi. Able to carry up to four passengers, the fully self-driving vehicle is being put to work shuttling the company's employees around Foster City, California.

Self-driving cars typically use radar or LiDAR technology to avoid collisions with other vehicles. Scientists have now created a much simpler insect-inspired system that could serve the same purpose more efficiently – at night, that is.

The new Navier 30 adds a little length over the concept that preceded it while offering the same robust range and high-tech design. It has an autopilot system meant to evolve into full autonomy and an active foil system to breeze over 4-foot waves.

Self-driven trailer tech looked cool on the Dethleffs Coco, and it looks even cooler on a classic Silver Bullet. The Airstream eStream concept packs an e-drive that can propel the trailer's weight, maneuver into tight spaces, and power home or camp.
