With Tesla in their cross-hairs, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Volkswagen look to create class-leading automated driving systems.

Deep dive: A strong business case and less complex driving mean that self-driving trucks may have many market advantages over other autonomous vehicles.

Intended for autonomous mobility systems, the company’s Oculii adaptive AI radar software and efficient 5-nm CV3 AI domain control SoC are said to enable central processing and fusion of raw 4D imaging radar data for the first time.

The new advance helps Waymo determine weather conditions close to its autonomous vehicles to guide and improve performance.

New vehicle models incorporating automated driving functions rely on trustworthy, accurate, and safe GMV positioning technology.

New functions to be added to Honda Sensing 360 began in China in 2022 and will be standard on all U.S. models by 2030, while the next-generation higher-level Honda Sensing Elite will use the company’s original artificial intelligence technologies for even greater autonomy.

At CES 2023, carbon nanomaterial developer Canatu and Covestro will showcase a joint lidar heater demonstrator using flexible transparent film heaters, thermoplastic polymers, and film insert molding processing.

Waymo showcased its Zeekr vehicle integrated with its autonomous vehicle technology at a reveal event in Los Angeles earlier this week, with execs weighing in on the significance of the vehicle and partnership significance.

The company is on a mission to reimagine how AI learns by using synthetic data critical for scaling an autonomous future more quickly.

In the two-year pilot, four groups will operate self-driving public buses with the aim of easing road congestion.
