When people are asked to think of autonomous vehicles, it is probably a fair bet to assume that robotaxis will spring to mind. After all, they are one of the more exciting and visible applications for the technology, reflected being the one which often hits the media headlines. One of the most recent examples of this was in February, when it was announced that following the passage of the Autonomous Vehicle Act last year, Waymo would be launching a pilot in London with the aim of operating a fully-autonomous robotaxi service later this year. However, the focus on robotaxis masks the significant progress the UK is making with autonomous vehicles in other areas, primarily in off-highway sites such as ports and airports, as well as shuttle services for mass passenger transport. “Our focus on these areas is a strategic push to say there are these near-term markets that a broader set of people can really get into,” says Mark Cracknell, programme director of Zenzic, which exists to bring together industry, government and academia to support the strategic rollout of connected and automated mobility (CAM) technologies in the UK. “We are trying to find where there is the economic opportunity that complements the social opportunity. “If you start with the question ‘how do you be competitive against the likes of Waymo and Baida, who are tech giants and investing billions and billions?’, then that is a big challenge for anybody to pick up, so we have to look at where we can be competitive. Where is there space in the global market for British companies to be successful? “So you go through the process to say robotaxi is the exciting technology that gets the headlines but, actually, autonomy can be anywhere. “If you want to do that with economic benefit, then

Automated trucks have become a key part of the Port of Felixstowe’s operations since it became the first port in Europe to deploy the technology in a mixed traffic environment. In the past 12 months, the port, which currently has 34 autonomous trucks, has used the vehicles to move more than 140,000 containers from the cranes which removes the load from ships to a yard crane which stacks them on the port before they are taken away by hauliers. The vehicles are fully electric and emissions-free as the port has used only electricity certified as being from renewable sources since April 2023, supporting its ambition to achieve net zero for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2035. “For a port, the case for autonomous vehicles almost writes itself,” says Benjamin Gaunt, senior project manager at Westwell, which manufacturers and supplies the trucks. “Firstly, ports are quite a harsh and hazardous environment; containers are moved at height and there’s heavy machinery moving around all of the time. “It’s highly repetitive and it’s high volume. It’s also extremely high pressure. If one of our trucks stop, it can potentially halt the port. It certainly slows the port down, slows the cranes down and delay the vessels. “These trucks are running 24 hours a day, seven days a week in mixed traffic, interacting with external hauliers who come to the port every day, as well as the port’s own tractor fleet. “It’s a brilliant use case for autonomy.” The trucks use a 360-degree industrial grade binocular camera and 128-line Lidar as sensors. Each truck also features interactive light signals and audiovisual alerts to communicate driving intentions clearly to human drivers, significantly reducing collision risks. Batteries on the autonomous trucks are changed at an automated battery swap station. The facility allows them to exchange

[Stay on top of transportation news: Get TTNews in your inbox.] Autonomous Trucks Are Here, But When Will They Scale? Developers Outline Transition From Early Pilots to Broader Commercialization of Virtual Driver Technology Managing Editor, Features and Multimedia Key Takeaways: - Autonomous truck developers say technical barriers are largely resolved, shifting attention to scaling, manufacturing capacity and fleet operations. - Executives predict driverless trucks will enter broader commercial use this year or next, with expansion dependent on customer value and supply. - Companies including Aurora, PlusAI, Torc and Kodiak are expanding routes, partnerships and testing ahead of full commercialization. LAS VEGAS — Autonomous trucking is shifting from early pilot programs toward full-scale commercial launches generally targeted for this year or next. But how quickly might driverless trucks spread across the nation’s highways once the technology becomes more widely available? Leaders from five of the most prominent developers of autonomous driving technology for commercial vehicles shared their views on that question during a May 5 panel discussion at ACT Expo 2026. Ossa Fisher, president of Aurora Innovation, said all the technical barriers to deploying autonomous trucks have been overcome. “It is no longer a question of if. It is no longer question of when. It is really a question of how quickly and how broadly we scale to become the autonomous backbone of American transportation,” she said. Raquel Urtasun, founder and CEO of Waabi, said the bottleneck in the “early innings” of commercial deployment will not be interest on the part of fleet operators, but the initial supply of trucks equipped for autonomous driving. “The limiting factor right now is not customer adoption,” she said. “It’s really building those trucks at scale.” From left, PlusAI’s David Liu, Kodiak’s Don Burnette, Torc’s Peter Vaughan Schmidt, Aurora’s Ossa Fisher and Waabi’s Raquel Urtasun

Daimler Truck outlined a three-pronged strategy to improve profitability during the company’s Q1 earnings call held May 6, responding to what executives described as a historically low-demand environment in North America. A prolonged freight recession and ongoing tariff impacts have pressured the truck maker. As a result, Daimler sold 141,814 trucks in North America during 2025, down 26% from the prior year. The difficult conditions also carried into the start of 2026: the company sold 29,432 trucks during the first quarter, the lowest Q1 sales since 2010, CFO Eva Scherer said during the call. Even so, executives pointed to early signs of recovery. Q1 orders rose 86% year over year, suggesting demand could be starting to rebound. In the meantime, Daimler is focused on several initiatives aimed at growing profits and preserving cash flow: - Deconsolidation of Mitsubishi Fuso: Daimler and Toyota finalized the merger of Mitsubishi Fuso and Hino Motors on April 1. As part of the transaction, Daimler will ultimately decrease its ownership of the newly combined Archion Corp. to 25%, CEO Karin Rådström said, creating 1.5 to 2 billion euros in free cash flow. - Fuel cell collaboration: Daimler also expects to benefit from Toyota joining Cellcentric as an equal shareholder, which will accelerate the fuel cell joint venture’s ability to scale. - Pulling back on EV manufacturing investments: Daimler will delay developing the manufacturing capacity for its Amplify Cell Technologies joint venture due to conditions in the North American electric commercial vehicle market. Although Daimler incurred a 200 million euro charge due to the production delay, executives said the move will still have a positive cash flow effect, because the company previously expected to invest a “low triple-digit million range” into the venture in 2026. Executives said the company is also watching for replacement demand to

Innoviz Pivots to Defense Amid Q1 Revenue Drop, Bets on Long-Range Tech - Q1 2026 revenue: $7.1M (down from $17.4M in Q1 2025) - Q1 2026 net loss: $26.2M (more than double the $12.6M loss in Q1 2025) - 2026 revenue forecast: $67–$73M (reaffirmed despite Q1 decline) Experts would likely conclude that Innoviz's strategic pivot to defense and long-range LiDAR technology is a calculated move to stabilize revenue amid automotive industry volatility, though near-term financial challenges remain significant. Innoviz Pivots to Defense Amid Q1 Revenue Drop, Reaffirms 2026 Outlook TEL AVIV, Israel – May 14, 2026 – LiDAR supplier Innoviz Technologies (NASDAQ: INVZ) presented a story of strategic ambition amidst short-term financial headwinds today, reporting a significant first-quarter revenue decline while simultaneously announcing a major push into the defense and security markets and reaffirming its full-year financial targets. The company's Q1 2026 revenue came in at $7.1 million, a steep drop from the $17.4 million reported in the same period last year. Despite the shortfall, Innoviz is holding firm on its 2026 revenue forecast of $67–$73 million, signaling strong confidence in its pipeline and strategic initiatives for the remainder of the year. A Quarter of Financial Contrasts The first-quarter financial results painted a challenging picture for the Israeli tech firm. The revenue of $7.1 million was attributed by the company to the timing of Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) payments. These payments, which cover custom engineering and validation services for major clients, are often tied to specific project milestones and can cause significant quarterly fluctuations. "Several NRE milestones were pushed out of the first quarter, in part due to customers' requests for additional content, resulting in lower than anticipated revenues," explained CEO and Founder Omer Keilaf in the company's official release. "Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our teams, we

Autonomous trucking company Bot Auto says it has completed what it describes as the first fully humanless commercial over-the-road truckload delivery in the United States, moving freight between Houston and Dallas without a driver, in-cab observer, or remote operator controlling the vehicle. The Houston-based company said the autonomous truck completed a 230-mile overnight route from Riggy’s Truck Parking in northeast Houston to Safe Stop in Hutchins, south of Dallas, delivering a commercial shipment booked through logistics provider Ryan Transportation. According to Bot Auto, the run was conducted without a safety driver onboard and without “low-latency remote human feedback”, which the company says differentiates the operation from earlier autonomous trucking demonstrations and pilot programs. The route is significant because it took place on a live commercial freight lane rather than a controlled test environment, reflecting growing competition among autonomous trucking companies seeking to commercialize driverless freight operations in Texas and the wider US logistics market. Bot Auto says the shipment was selected specifically to support a customer requiring reliable overnight delivery within a tight time window – a segment where trucking companies often face challenges related to driver availability, scheduling constraints, and hours-of-service regulations. Jeff Henderson, senior vice president at Ryan Transportation, said: “At Ryan Transportation, we’re constantly evaluating new solutions that enhance service, safety and reliability for our shipper partners. “Forming this partnership is a strategic decision based on Bot Auto’s proven technology and the role autonomous trucking will play long-term in logistics. It will strengthen our ability to provide dependable, high-frequency capacity on time-sensitive freight while maintaining the operational standards our customers expect.” The company emphasized that the run was not conducted as a technology demonstration but as a commercial freight movement operating within an existing logistics workflow. Autonomous vehicle analyst Grayson Brulte observed the operation from pickup through

- United States - / - Software - / - NasdaqGS:AUR Aurora Innovation (AUR) Is Up 15.5% After Driverless Dallas–Houston Launch And Major Fleet Commitments - In early May 2026, Aurora Innovation reported first-quarter sales of US$1.00 million alongside a net loss of US$223.00 million, while announcing expanded autonomous freight operations with partners including McLane, Hirschbach and Volvo Autonomous Solutions across key Sun Belt routes. - The transition of McLane’s Dallas–Houston lane to fully driverless service and Hirschbach’s plan for 500 Aurora-powered trucks highlight growing commercial confidence in Aurora’s self-driving platform despite its still-small revenue base. - Next, we’ll examine how McLane’s shift to fully driverless Dallas–Houston hauls might reshape Aurora Innovation’s longer-term investment narrative. The future of work is here. Discover the 31 top robotics and automation stocks leading the charge in AI-driven automation and industrial transformation. Aurora Innovation Investment Narrative Recap To own Aurora Innovation, you need to believe that autonomous trucking can move from promising pilots to meaningful, paid mileage despite today’s tiny US$1.0 million quarterly revenue and US$223.0 million loss. The key short term catalyst is converting existing blue chip pilots into scaled, revenue generating driverless lanes, while the biggest risk remains cash burn that could require fresh capital if gross profit timing slips. This latest McLane, Hirschbach and Volvo momentum supports the catalyst but does not remove the funding risk. The Hirschbach plan for 500 Aurora powered trucks, with a non binding MOU outlining hundreds of millions of dollars in potential revenue, sits at the heart of that catalyst. It links directly to Aurora’s push to build a dense Sun Belt freight network, where higher utilization across long routes such as Fort Worth to Phoenix could help spread fixed platform costs over more paid miles if customers follow through on large scale commitments. Yet behind
