Driverless cars are driving into active crime scenes and blocking fire trucks, regulators warn They also block the paths of ambulances. - US regulators warned self-driving car companies they must fix a pattern of vehicles blocking ambulances, driving into crime scenes, and ignoring emergency signals. - The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration documented cases where autonomous vehicles failed to recognize flashing lights, flares, smoke, and traffic cones. - NHTSA will hold meetings with self-driving companies by month's end to demand solutions, calling the failures a "functional insufficiency." - Incidents include Waymo vehicles blocking fire trucks in Dallas, striking a child in California, and passing stopped school buses in violation of law. The head of the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Wednesday that self-driving car companies must quickly address a "clear pattern" of driverless vehicles interfering with law enforcement and other first responders. Jonathan Morrison, who heads the US vehicle regulatory agency, said in a letter to the industry that NHTSA has documented multiple instances of AVs driving into active emergency scenes, and other incidents when the vehicles "blocked the paths of ambulances and firefighters, or failed to recognize and respond to basic safety conditions like flashing lights, flares, smoke, fire, and traffic cones." "Let me be clear: the inability to detect and appropriately respond to such situations represents a functional insufficiency," he said in the letter. NHTSA said it would schedule meetings with vehicle developers by the end of the month to solicit solutions. It called on AV developers and operators to focus on fixing the problem. "An AV that cannot safely interact with first responders is a danger to the general public," the letter said. NHTSA did not identify any specific incidents, or name the companies receiving the letter. Local media in Texas reported a Waymo self-driving

Hanjin said on the 9th that it will launch a paid transport service using Autonomous Driving cargo trucks. After completing a pilot project with a government grants research institute and obtaining a paid cargo transport permit from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, it applied the service to line-haul trucks. The service will operate three times a week over a 118-kilometer section, using a 25-ton (t) cargo truck from Gunsan Port in North Jeolla, through the Hanjin Jeonju parcel terminal, to the Daejeon mega hub. It is based on Autonomous Driving, but a safety agent will be seated in the driver's seat to intervene if needed. This service was carried out under the "Saemangeum autonomous transport commercial vehicle demonstration support infrastructure project." Hanjin signed a business agreement in September 2023 with JIAT, LX Spatial Information Research Institute, and the Korea Integrated Logistics Association to carry out the demonstration project. Hanjin supported actual logistics operation infrastructure and commercial transport volume, providing a practical foundation to verify how Autonomous Driving cargo vehicles can be effectively used in real logistics sites. JIAT handled the construction of Autonomous Driving demonstration road infrastructure and demonstration vehicles, while the LX Spatial Information Research Institute handled the construction of the Autonomous Driving control system. The Integrated Logistics Association was responsible for building the Autonomous Driving cooperation system and ensuring smooth operations. Through this project, Hanjin secured a state-of-the-art terminal system equipped with control and perception equipment that enables Autonomous Driving cargo trucks to independently perform processes from entering the parcel terminal and waiting to accessing the loading bay. It also expects to preemptively secure real-world cargo transport operating know-how targeting the future logistics market by accumulating Autonomous Driving-based transport data and diverse operational experience on actual roads. A Hanjin official said, "Taking this first commercial transport

From：Internet Info Agency 2026-07-09 07:36:07 Jonathan Morrison, head of the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), recently sent a letter to the autonomous vehicle industry highlighting multiple incidents in which self-driving vehicles interfered with law enforcement and first responders carrying out their duties, and urged companies to address the issue promptly. NHTSA has documented cases of autonomous vehicles entering emergency scenes, blocking ambulances and fire trucks, and failing to recognize basic safety cues such as warning lights, signal flares, smoke, fire, and traffic cones. Morrison emphasized that such behavior indicates functional deficiencies in these systems and poses a danger to the public if the vehicles cannot safely interact with emergency personnel. NHTSA plans to meet with autonomous vehicle developers by the end of this month to solicit solutions and has asked both developers and operators to treat this issue as a top priority. According to media reports, in late May, a Waymo autonomous vehicle partially blocked a fire truck responding to a blaze in Dallas, Texas. Previous incidents have also involved Waymo vehicles obstructing ambulances and driving through active police scenes. Currently, NHTSA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are separately investigating two incidents involving Waymo: one in which a Waymo vehicle drove past a stopped school bus with its warning lights activated—potentially violating Texas state law—and another that occurred on January 23 in a school zone in Santa Monica, California, where a Waymo autonomous vehicle struck a 9-year-old girl who had run out from behind a double-parked SUV to cross the street on her way to school.

Commercial vehicle giant Ashok Leyland is set to revolutionize the military transport sector through the integration of next-generation technologies. As India’s second-largest commercial vehicle maker and a major global bus producer, the company is currently developing a driverless variant of its famous Stallion truck. Long considered the primary logistics workhorse of the Indian Armed Forces, the Stallion's transition to an autonomous platform highlights a major strategic leap toward futuristic military mobility. Transforming this battle-tested truck into an autonomous machine is no simple task, according to Amandeep Singh, President of the Defence Business at Ashok Leyland. He confirmed that the complex, forward-looking engineering project is underway and will heavily rely on advanced connected-vehicle networks. Once deployed, these self-driving platforms are designed to manage vital supply chains and support critical front-line missions. This shift aims to dramatically improve operational speed while keeping soldiers out of harm's way during dangerous supply runs. The Indian Army currently relies on a massive fleet of 60,000 to 75,000 Stallion trucks, cementing its role as the absolute backbone of the military's logistical framework. Upgrading from standard, heavy-duty transport to intelligent, automated systems represents a historic technological shift for the armed forces. Built in various versatile configurations, including 4x4 and 6x6, the Stallion has historically proven its durability in some of the most unforgiving environments on the subcontinent, ranging from freezing high-altitude mountain passes to scorching deserts. Introducing self-driving logistics vehicles into the battlefield offers revolutionary tactical advantages. It minimizes the need for human drivers in highly contested combat zones, ensures a steady flow of supplies even under enemy fire, allows commanders to track fleet movements in real time, and ultimately boosts overall force protection. To further build on this, Ashok Leyland is actively exploring drone-based logistics and is reportedly developing a hydrogen-fuel-powered Stallion in collaboration with domestic

Cummins and PACCAR are updating diesel engine software to give truck operators more time to address certain diesel exhaust fluid system issues before vehicles reach the most restrictive operating limits. The updates follow revised U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidance on DEF inducements, which are safeguards that reduce vehicle speed and power when emissions system problems are detected. The changes do not remove emissions compliance requirements, and vehicles with emissions component issues must still be repaired. Cummins is updating certain engine calibrations to provide operators with more time to complete needed repairs and help reduce unnecessary downtime related to DEF inducements. The revised calibrations increase the time before certain DEF-related inducements occur and increase final inducement speeds in some circumstances. The updates extend the time to initial and later derate events for certain tampering and DEF quality conditions, while also increasing the final derate speed from 5 mph to 25 mph. According to Cummins, the updates are intended to provide additional operating flexibility while maintaining emissions system requirements. Cummins has begun offering revised calibrations for more than 1.5 million engines in medium- and heavy-duty trucks, including certain truck applications dating back to model year 2017 and certain motorcoach applications dating back to model year 2018. Timing will vary by engine platform and model year. Customers can contact a local Cummins distributor or dealer to schedule available updates. PACCAR also announced updated software for vehicles equipped with PACCAR MX-11 and MX-13 engines. Trucks manufactured after July 20, 2026, will have the software installed at the factory, and trucks built after 2018 will be eligible for the updates at Peterbilt and Kenworth dealerships. These changes will increase the final inducement speed limit from 5 mph to 25 mph and extend the timeline from four hours to 160 hours for component-related or fluid-quality issues

EU institutions have been working on the revision since 2016. In a vote held on 7 July, the European Parliament approved the text by 511 votes in favour, with 87 against and 61 abstentions. The package still needs formal approval by the Council of the European Union and publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. Under the current timeline, the new rules would apply after a 24-month transition period, meaning they are expected to take effect around September 2028. Why the establishment test matters for international haulage The reform is designed to make social security rights easier to carry between member states and to strengthen enforcement against abuses, including so-called letterbox companies. For international hauliers, however, one issue stands out: how a company’s actual place of establishment will be assessed for social security purposes. One of the new factors is expected to be where a company generates its turnover. That could prove sensitive in road transport, where operators often provide services across several member states while keeping their registered seat, vehicles, payroll, administration and management in another country. In practice, an international transport company may be legally and operationally established in one member state, while a large share of its revenue is generated abroad through bilateral transport, cabotage or cross-trade operations. If turnover becomes an important factor in determining establishment, the sector fears this could trigger disputes over which country’s social security system should apply. Transport i Logistyka Polska, an employers’ association, has warned that the change could have significant consequences for international road carriers. “Around 40 percent of the revenue of Polish international road carriers comes from the export of services, cabotage and cross-trade. That means the place where turnover is generated for companies providing these services is the territory of the countries where the work is

Tesla Semi trucks equipped with Full Self-Driving validation hardware have been spotted on California roads again — and the frequency of these sightings suggests the program is well past early exploration. Here's what the latest footage reveals and what it tells us about where autonomous trucking is headed. 1. These Sightings Are Becoming Routine — and That's Significant The Tesla Semi spotted this week is far from an isolated case. According to multiple reports, validation-equipped Semis were observed on public roads in Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, and Fremont across at least four separate dates in June 2026 alone — June 20, 21, 24, and 27. When a test program reaches this kind of cadence on public roads, it typically signals a transition from early feasibility work to structured data collection. Tesla isn't just checking whether FSD can run on a Class 8 truck; it's actively building the dataset to make it work reliably. 2. The Hardware Configuration Points to Production Intent The validation equipment visible on these Semis isn't prototype-only gear. The trucks are running a suite of 10 external cameras with camera washers — a configuration consistent with production-intent autonomous sensor hardware. Tesla is also using Hardware 4 (HW4) as the FSD compute platform on the Semi, the same generation Elon Musk described in April 2026 as sufficient for achieving "much better than human safety for FSD" in passenger vehicles. Samsung serves as the exclusive camera supplier for the Semi platform. The fact that these are production-spec components, not bolted-on research rigs, matters: Tesla is validating the system it actually plans to ship. 3. The FSD Model Is Being Rebuilt From Scratch for Trucking Tesla isn't simply porting its passenger-car FSD stack onto the Semi and calling it done. According to background research, Tesla is remodeling its FSD AI specifically

Hutchison Ports says the latest order builds on the successful use of autonomous trucks in mixed-traffic container terminal operations at Felixstowe — a deployment the port describes as the first of its kind in Europe. The battery-electric trucks operate inside the terminal, moving containers between quay cranes, yard areas and other parts of the port. Their expansion marks another step in Felixstowe’s automation programme, as the UK’s largest container port looks to increase consistency, cut emissions and support future terminal capacity. Third batch completes 100-unit fleet The latest order follows earlier phases of deployment with Westwell. Felixstowe and the Chinese technology company first announced an agreement for 100 battery-powered autonomous Q-Trucks in 2023, after a tender process and on-site testing. A further 34 autonomous trucks were ordered in 2025, doubling the fleet at the time. The newly confirmed third batch will now take the number of autonomous trucks at the port to 100. According to the port, the trucks are being introduced into a live terminal environment where they operate alongside conventional vehicles and equipment, rather than in a fully separated automated zone. This mixed-traffic model is one of the reasons the deployment is being watched closely by the wider ports and logistics industry. New sensors and second battery-swapping station The next batch will include upgraded sensor and perception systems, including 128-line LiDAR and advanced camera technology. The port says this will give the vehicles a more detailed understanding of their surroundings and support safe and reliable operation in a busy terminal environment. Felixstowe is also adding a second automated battery-swapping station. The existing station can replace a truck battery in around five to six minutes, allowing the vehicles to remain in operation with limited downtime. The trucks are supported by the port’s private 5G network, which provides real-time connectivity

Engine Technology Forum Launches SCR, DEF Resource Center Amid Emissions Debate Cummins, Paccar Ease DEF Derates After EPA Guidance Updated diesel engine software gives truck operators more time to address emissions-system issues while staying compliant with EPA emissions standards. - Cummins and Paccar have adjusted their diesel engine software following new guidance from the EPA. - The updated software allows truck operators extended time to solve emissions-system problems. - Compliance with EPA emissions standards is maintained under the new adjustments. *Summarized by AI Cummins and Paccar announced software changes to their diesel engines to allow truckers to continue to operate longer after a truck’s sensors have determined an empty diesel exhaust fluid tank or other emissions system problems. They join Daimler Truck North America, which recently announced changes to Detroit engines, in making changes to reflect revised Environmental Protection Agency guidance on DEF inducements. Diesel exhaust fluid is used in selective catalytic reduction technology to convert nitrogen oxides (NOx) in engine exhaust into nitrogen and water, helping meet EPA emissions standards. DEF inducements are safeguards that reduce vehicle speed and power when emissions system issues are detected. Common issues include low DEF levels or reduced selective catalytic reduction system performance. They prompt, or "induce," drivers to correct the issue by refilling the DEF tank, repairing faulty sensors, or performing a system regeneration. These are commonly known as "DEF derates." What EPA Said About DEF Derates Last August, the EPA announced new guidance for manufacturers to increase the time truckers have to refill the DEF tank or make repairs. The agency also announced that starting with model year 2027, all new diesel on-road trucks must be engineered to avoid sudden and severe power loss after running out of DEF.

LiuGong 9200F for Jiangxi Copper: fleet planning and support notes for mines Reviewed by Joe Ashwell First reported on International Mining – News 30 Second Briefing LiuGong has delivered its 200 t class 9200F ultra-large hydraulic excavator, its largest mining unit to date, to Jiangxi Copper Group for frontline deployment in open-pit metallic mining. The 9200F targets high-end hard-rock operations traditionally dominated by foreign OEMs, signalling Chinese manufacturers’ push into larger-size classes for primary loading fleets. For mine planners and maintenance teams, the move widens options for domestic sourcing of ultra-large excavators, with potential implications for fleet standardisation, parts logistics, and lifecycle support in Chinese copper pits. Technical Brief - Unit is classed at 200 t operating weight, placing it in the ultra-large excavator segment. - Similar domestic ultra-large units could enable Chinese mines to standardise fleets around locally supported platforms. Our Take In our database, LiuGong’s recent launches – from the ultraclass hybrid wheel loader and 127 t autonomous truck (June 2, 2026) to the DR50CE battery-electric rigid truck (June 29, 2026) – indicate a deliberate move up into high-payload mining fleets, with this 200 t-class 9200F excavator filling a key ultra-large loading slot in that line-up. The delivery of a 200 t-class excavator to Jiangxi Copper Group gives LiuGong a reference in large open-pit metal mining, which is likely to be strategically valuable as it faces trade barriers such as the UK anti-dumping tariffs on Chinese-built excavators upheld in January 2026. Across the 2409 tag-matched ‘Projects’ and ‘Product’ pieces in our coverage, LiuGong is one of the few Chinese OEMs consistently appearing in both quarrying (e.g. Holcim UK’s 870HE loader deployment) and large-scale mining contexts, signalling an effort to position its heavy equipment as a full-fleet alternative to established Western suppliers.
