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.

As recent IIHS tests have proven, most automatic emergency braking systems can’t see at night, but Kobi Marenko, CEO of Arbe, writes for Inside Autonomous Vehicles that, for the automotive industry to move forward, consumers need to trust the technology powering autonomy.

Its just-released CityStream Live real-time mapping platform is an AI-curated road data feed, with unprecedented data coverage and freshness, will allow creation of more modern mobility applications and services, but many more OEMs and fleets need to join the effort, says the company’s CEO.

AiMotive will operate as a subsidiary of Stellantis to preserve “its startup spirit,” and its technology is meant to supercharge the mid-term development of the automaker’s STLA AutoDrive autonomous driving platform.

The team from Politecnico di Milano in Italy, with help from the Crimson Autonomous Racing (CAR) Team of the University of Alabama, was the winner under adverse weather conditions at the Indy Autonomous Challenge Powered by Cisco at Texas Motor Speedway last week.

The company’s proprietary SEDAR platform uses SWIR to offer 2D imaging and 3D determinative depth sensing at what it says is a fraction of the cost and complexity of other sensor systems such as lidar.

The company’s autonomous Driver is able to maintain control even after a catastrophic event thanks to its “fallback” technology.

In Europe, Travel Assist with swarm data allows assisted lane changing, taking the next step towards highly automated driving, and Park Assist Plus with memory function enables learning of parking maneuvers that can then repeated on their own.
