(TSXV: PNG): The Global Subsea Intelligence and <b>Autonomous</b> Underwater Systems ...

Kraken Robotics Inc. (TSXV: PNG) is a St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador-Based Maritime Technology and Subsea Robotics Company That Has Spent Eighteen Years Building Proprietary Sensor, Imaging, and Power Technologies for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, Subsea Infrastructure Inspection, and Defence Applications—and Is Now Executing the Most Transformational Strategic Pivot in Its History Through the Announced $615 Million Acquisition of Covelya Group, Which Will Immediately Establish the Combined Entity as the Global Leader in Integrated Subsea Solutions Across Defence, Commercial, and Emerging Autonomous Maritime Markets Kraken Robotics represents an extraordinary investment narrative at the intersection of three independent but reinforcing structural transformations within the global subsea technology and maritime defence sectors. The first structural transformation is the exponential acceleration of uncrewed underwater vehicle (UUV) adoption across military, commercial, and scientific applications—driven by the recognition among global naval forces, offshore energy operators, and scientific research institutions that autonomous underwater systems have achieved sufficient technological maturity and cost economics to justify rapid capital deployment and integration into existing operational infrastructure. The second structural transformation is the emergence of specialized subsea power systems (advanced battery technologies capable of operating under extreme pressure, temperature, and operational duration requirements) as the critical bottleneck limiting the scaling and operational endurance of next-generation autonomous underwater platforms—creating a market dynamic where the suppliers of high-energy-density, pressure-tolerant power systems occupy the strategic position of enabling the broader autonomous underwater vehicle ecosystem. The third structural transformation is the consolidation of the historically fragmented subsea technology supply base—where dozens of specialized providers, each focused on narrow product categories (navigation, positioning, imaging, communication, propulsion), have operated independently—toward integrated platforms where customers increasingly demand end-to-end solutions combining multiple subsea technologies rather than assembling point solutions from disparate suppliers. Kraken Robotics' position at the center of these three structural transformations is the result of a deliberate

Ransomware Attacks on <b>Automotive</b> and Smart Mobility More Than Doubled in 2025 ...

Ransomware Attacks on Automotive and Smart Mobility More Than Doubled in 2025, According to New Research by Upstream Security Upstream's report finds that the rapid adoption of Physical AI, with autonomous vehicles among the first production-ready systems in real-world operation, is expanding attack surfaces and accelerating attacker capabilities, creating large-scale cyber risks with massive impact potential. SHIBUYA, Japan, May 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Upstream, the leading AI-powered cybersecurity detection and response platform (XDR) purpose-built for connected vehicles, physical AI, and smart mobility, released today its 2026 Global Automotive and Smart Mobility Cybersecurity Report. Now in its eighth year, the report reveals a material escalation in cybersecurity risks across Automotive and Smart Mobility. This is driven by the rapid expansion of APIs and AI-driven architectures, alongside the increased sophistication of organized threat actors. Together, these forces are widening the gap between adversary capability and the industry's current cybersecurity posture, with ransomware continuing to emerge as one of the fastest-growing and most disruptive attack types in 2025. Analyzing 494 publicly reported cybersecurity incidents from 2025 within the Automotive and Smart Mobility ecosystem worldwide, the report recognizes two converging trends reshaping automotive cybersecurity. AI as a Double-Edged Sword AI architectures have dramatically expanded the attack surface, introducing new entry points and systematic exposures across the entire ecosystem. "The automotive industry is an early adopter of Physical AI, and as AI capabilities rapidly expand across markets, it now serves as the reference architecture for safety-critical, highly connected systems," said Yoav Levy, Co-Founder and CEO of Upstream. "However, AI is also enabling attackers to move faster, at greater scale, and with more automation while the industry is still relying on security models built for a far more static world. Our 2026 report shows that AI significantly expands the cybersecurity attack surface, as traditional perimeter defenses

Britain's navy prepares to clear mines in the Strait of Hormuz while waiting for a peace deal

Britain’s navy prepares to clear mines in the Strait of Hormuz while waiting for a peace deal ABOARD THE RFA LYME BAY (AP) — Aboard the RFA Lyme Bay docked off the coast of Gibraltar, hundreds of British sailors are waiting to be deployed for a mine-clearing mission to the Strait of Hormuz that is still in doubt. U.S. President Donald Trump has lashed out at allies for not doing more to support the United States' war effort in Iran, whose chokehold on the strait has crippled international shipping and sent energy prices soaring. In March, Trump told NATO allies to “go get your own oil” and secure the strait themselves. On the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, the U.K.’s Royal Navy is preparing to do that — but only once a peace agreement is reached. Trump said Saturday that a deal with Iran has been “largely negotiated” after calls with Israel and other allies in the region, but it still needs finalizing. Britain’s Armed Forces Minister Al Carns took a small group of reporters to visit the RFA Lyme Bay as it prepares for a possible international operation, led by the U.K. and France, to secure the strait. As Carns spoke, the amphibious landing vessel, docked at the gateway to the Mediterranean, was being loaded with ammunition and mine-hunting sea drones equipped with sonar. With a crew of several hundred sailors, the RFA Lyme Bay will soon depart Gibraltar to link up with the U.K. destroyer HMS Dragon and allied ships for air support before sailing through the Suez Canal to the Persian Gulf. “Which other country can pull together 40 nations and come up with a solution to deal with a complex problem that we couldn’t predict because we weren’t

Britain's <b>Autonomous Vehicle</b> Gamble Begins — But Is the UK Infrastructure Sector ...

Britain’s Autonomous Vehicle Gamble Begins — But Is the UK Infrastructure Sector Completely Unprepared? - Safer Highways - 8 hours ago - 4 min read The UK government has officially opened the door for companies to operate autonomous passenger vehicles on British roads — a move being celebrated by ministers as a technological breakthrough but one that also exposes just how unprepared the country’s infrastructure and governance systems really are. Under the new pilot programme, companies will be allowed to run self-driving taxis, buses, and passenger transport services across Britain later this year, provided they pass government approval checks on safety, cybersecurity, and operational capability. Ministers claim the trials will help position Britain at the forefront of autonomous transport innovation while unlocking billions in economic growth and thousands of future jobs. But beneath the glossy political messaging lies a far more uncomfortable reality: Britain is about to test cutting-edge AI-driven mobility systems on a road network many drivers already consider unreliable, congested, poorly maintained, and digitally outdated. The government insists safety remains the priority. Roads Minister Simon Lightwood described autonomous vehicles as a “transformative opportunity” capable of improving mobility for disabled and elderly passengers while boosting economic growth. Officials continue to point toward statistics showing that human error contributes to the vast majority of road collisions. Yet the real question is not whether autonomous vehicles can work in ideal conditions. The real question is whether Britain’s infrastructure institutions are capable of supporting them at all. Because autonomous vehicles do not operate in isolation. They rely on highly accurate road markings, reliable traffic systems, advanced mapping, resilient communications infrastructure, and consistent digital environments. In reality, huge sections of Britain’s road network currently struggle to meet even basic operational standards. Faded lane markings, inconsistent signage, potholes, ageing traffic technology, and fragmented digital

Tesla is Planning a Dedicated Robotaxi Hub in Texas [VIDEO]

Tesla is laying the groundwork for its autonomous ride-hailing network. According to recent site plans and city planning documents, Tesla is set to build a dedicated maintenance and dispatch hub for its Cybercab and Robotaxi fleet in Irving, Texas. This new facility will offer the first look at the footprint required to operate a fully autonomous fleet. Rather than relying entirely on existing consumer Service Centers, Tesla is building specialized infrastructure designed from the ground up to support high-volume, driverless ride-hailing. Inside the Irving Hub Just went by Tesla’s proposed Robotaxi maintenance site in Irving, Texas today, originally spotted in permitting by @MarcoRPi1 🚕 — Spencer (@scotsrule08) May 21, 2026 -35,000 sqft warehouse remodel -16 V4 Supercharger stalls -212 vehicle storage spots -Fleet dispatch, service, repair, cleaning, and charging… https://t.co/7hLX9K1B3b pic.twitter.com/OBCxXTli4w The proposed Robotaxi Center will be located at 4203 West Royal Lane in Irving, positioning the maintenance hub within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The project centers around the complete remodel of an existing commercial warehouse. Once operational, this 35,000-square-foot facility will serve as the home for the local autonomous fleet. According to the project description, the building will be used exclusively for the storage, servicing, and repair of autonomous vehicles. Because these vehicles lack human drivers to keep them tidy, the facility will also operate as a massive dispatch and cleaning hub, ensuring every Cybercab hits the road freshly detailed and fully inspected. Thanks to Spencer, we have a view of the current facility at the location, which Tesla would likely reuse. Fleet Storage and Charging Scale Perhaps the most revealing aspect of the site plan is the scale of the intended deployment. The exterior lot design hints at Tesla planning for a highly concentrated fleet presence in the area from day one. This includes a parking lot with

Blind Waymo users revel in the joy of riding alone | The Star

SAN FRANCISCO: Ruben Brunt hopped off a ferry, tapped his white cane against the sidewalk and held his phone to his ear to listen for directions. His destination was a white Jaguar idling a few blocks away – with no one behind the wheel. Brunt, 28, was born with a rare eye disorder. He can’t drive himself and had never experienced the feeling of being alone in a car – until Waymo’s self-driving vehicles started navigating San Francisco’s hilly streets two years ago. Now Brunt will occasionally make the hourlong journey across the bay from his home in Solano County, California, just to ride in one. “It’s that feeling of independence and actually having the control,” he said. “Being able to play whatever music you want, feeling like you’re in your own car.” With hubs in San Francisco and Los Angeles, Waymo and its autonomous vehicle fleet have sometimes been a target of frustration and conflict, trapping riders when attacked, stalling during power outages and even killing a beloved neighbourhood cat. But with the largest population of blind people in the country, California has also seen the robot taxis offer something unexpected and joyous to the visually impaired – an opportunity for solitude on the streets. “I don’t have to talk to another human being,” said Sarah Funes, a South San Francisco resident who is partially blind and partially paralysed from a brain tumour. “I get in a car, and I’m just alone.” Another benefit is that driverless cars don’t discriminate, Funes said. She often posts online about human ride-share drivers who refuse to transport her service dog, despite policies requiring them to accommodate service animals. Claire Stanley, who is legally blind and uses a guide dog, said she had also had to “battle” for Uber and Lyft drivers to

'Up a curb and into a metal fence': Tesla reveals concerning self-<b>driving</b> taxi crash data

Tesla has released new details about 17 previously redacted crash reports tied to its self-driving taxi testing in Austin, Texas — and some of the newly public accounts are raising fresh questions about whether the technology is ready. According to a report from Electrek, the filings show that many of the incidents involved other drivers hitting stopped Tesla vehicles. But several others describe Tesla cars, or remote operators controlling them, striking fences, barricades, chains, poles, and curbs. What happened? According to Electrek's summary of Tesla's crash narratives filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, these 17 incidents took place from July 2025 to March 2026. Electrek said each case involved a 2026 Model Y using Tesla's autonomous driving system with a safety monitor in the vehicle. Tesla had previously been the only autonomous driving company to fully redact all of its crash reports, marking them confidential. At the time, Tesla argued that releasing the details publicly could cause "financial harm." The company has now updated those filings and removed the redactions. The newly visible reports paint a mixed picture. As Electrek summarized, 13 of the 17 crashes were property-damage-only, two listed no injuries, one involved a minor injury without hospitalization, and one involved a minor injury requiring hospitalization. Several incidents appear to have been caused by other road users rather than Tesla's system. Several crashes involved a stopped Tesla at a light, stop sign, or in traffic being rear-ended or sideswiped by another road user. One stopped Tesla was hit by a pedicab, and another was sideswiped by a turning city bus. Some of the most notable reports, however, involved Tesla's own systems or remote backup operators. One July 2025 incident involved a safety monitor requesting assistance after the vehicle stopped moving. A teleoperator then remotely took control of

Market value upgrade of the <b>autonomous driving</b> industry: From technological prowess to full ...

Market value upgrade of the autonomous driving industry: From technological prowess to full-scenario applications, what kind of transformation is needed? Uisee Technology successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, becoming a benchmark for full - scenario L4 autonomous driving listings. This breakthrough in the capital market has completely rewritten the industry's valuation criteria. In the past, the capital market was used to pricing companies based on technical parameters and road test mileage. Now, the investment logic has completely shifted to commercialization implementation capabilities, multi - scenario revenue volume, and cash - flow generation levels. The dividend of technological involution in a single track is fading. The full - domain L4 autonomous driving track covering Robobus, Robovan, Robotruck, and Robotaxi has opened up both growth certainty and valuation imagination space, and has become a core track with high allocation value in the primary market. Technology narratives shed their bubbles The valuation of the single Robotaxi model has reached its peak After more than a decade of development in the domestic autonomous driving industry, the urban manned unmanned vehicle track was once the focus of capital attention. Leading players such as Baidu Apollo Go, Pony.ai, and WeRide have continuously increased their investment in urban open - road tests, continuously iterating on perception, decision - making, and control algorithms, and promoting the continuous expansion of the industry's technological boundaries. However, as a high - complexity open scenario, the commercialization process of Robotaxi faces objective challenges: the approval cycle for operating permissions on urban public roads is long, the road conditions are complex and changeable, and the requirements for safety redundancy are high, resulting in high operating costs and a longer than expected profit cycle per vehicle. Its business model is highly dependent on the large - scale operation in a single city,

(Topics) Successful Demonstration of Stable, High-Capacity mmWave Communications for ...

Press Releases May 25, 2026 Successful Demonstration of Stable, High-Capacity mmWave Communications for Multiple High-Speed Vehicles for the 6G Era — A major step toward real-world deployment, including mmWave-enabled autonomous driving and enhanced in-vehicle experiences — NTT DOCOMO, INC. NEC Corporation TOKYO, JAPAN, May 25, 2026 --- NTT DOCOMO, INC. (“DOCOMO”) and NEC Corporation (“NEC”), in collaboration with NTT, Inc. (“NTT”), have developed a technology (the “Technology”) that enables multiple vehicles traveling at high speed to simultaneously maintain stable communications using high-capacity millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications in the 40 GHz band, which is expected to be leveraged in the 6G era. The Technology combines distributed MIMO*1, in which multiple antennas are distributed and deployed from a base station, with a technique that pre-compensates the transmit frequency and transmit timing of signals. In a demonstration trial conducted in March 2026 at a full-scale tunnel test facility installed at Japan's National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management (NILIM), Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, multiple vehicles equipped with mobile terminals traveling at high speed in opposite lanes maintained stable, high throughput, achieving approximately a 1.3x improvement in average throughput compared to the conventional method. This result represents a major step toward social implementation of 6G-related technologies—including implementation in new base stations—such as autonomous driving utilizing mmWave and improved in-vehicle user experiences. Video of the demonstration: https://www.nec.com/en/global/onlinetv/en/mmwave_b5g_en.html Background When communicating in high-frequency bands such as mmWave in high-mobility environments (e.g., automobiles and trains traveling at high speed), frequent base station switching occurs, causing abrupt changes in Doppler frequency*2 and propagation delay, which degrades communication quality. DOCOMO, NEC, and NTT have been working to address this challenge, and in March 2025 successfully demonstrated*3 a technology that stabilizes communication quality for a single vehicle traveling at high speed by compensating the transmit frequency and transmit

In this Article Waymo Halts Freeway & Southern States Self-Driving Alphabet Inc. autonomous driving subsidiary Waymo implemented a temporary nationwide suspension of its highway operations alongside regional network shutdowns in response to recurring software navigation failures in extreme weather and construction zones. The commercial stand-down expands upon an active National Highway Traffic Safety Administration filing. The structural decision to pull robotaxis off freeways in core markets—including Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Miami—targets recurring routing anomalies within high-speed construction zones. Simultaneously, the operator paused driverless ride-hailing services across major Southern metropolitan corridors, including Atlanta, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Houston, and Nashville. The regional halts follow multi-city incidents where the automated driving system failed to detect deep standing water, causing driverless fleet vehicles to enter flooded thoroughfares. In San Antonio, an unoccupied robotaxi was swept into a creek, while subsequent heavy storms in Atlanta stranded multiple vehicles on inundated surfaces, including a high-volume highway connector. The cascading operational pauses expose critical gaps in Waymo’s perception and logic architecture. The company recently issued a voluntary recall encompassing 3,791 vehicles utilizing its fifth- and sixth-generation automated driving hardware to deploy an interim software patch. According to regulatory documentation, the initial update was designed to restrict navigation in high-probability flood corridors by monitoring National Weather Service alerts. However, the subsequent system failures in Georgia demonstrated that localized flash flooding events outpaced external advisory data, leaving the on-board system without a programmatic hard-stop protocol to override forward trajectory when encountering standing water.

China's machinery giant XCMG eyes bigger scoop of global sales with green, <b>autonomous</b> tech

China’s machinery giant XCMG eyes bigger scoop of global sales with green, autonomous tech State-owned firm banks on intelligent manufacturing, green technology, product integration and digital services to boost sales overseas XCMG Group, mainland China’s largest construction machinery maker, aims to achieve annual overseas sales of 100 billion yuan (US$14.7 billion), luring more international clients by turning its excavators, cranes and specialised vehicles greener and more automated. Yang Dongsheng, chairman of the state-owned machinery giant, told reporters in a media briefing last week that the target would be achieved in line with the company’s ambition of building itself into a top-class machinery producer worldwide. “Today, XCMG is no longer just a Chinese manufacturing brand,” he said. “As a rising global player, it is an important growth driver and value creator in the global construction machinery industry. No matter which business unit customers walk into, they will see the latest hi-tech, tailor-made solutions.” The chairman did not elaborate on when the company expected to reach the overseas sales target. XCMG recorded revenue of 102 billion yuan in 2024 and was now the world’s third-largest construction machinery manufacturer, trailing US-based Caterpillar and Komatsu of Japan, Yang said. The company said 48 per cent of its sales last year came from more than 100 markets outside mainland China.

Britain's navy prepares to clear mines in the Strait of Hormuz while waiting for a peace deal

Britain’s navy prepares to clear mines in the Strait of Hormuz while waiting for a peace deal ABOARD THE RFA LYME BAY— Aboard the RFA Lyme Bay docked off the coast of Gibraltar, hundreds of British sailors are waiting to be deployed for a mine-clearing mission to the Strait of Hormuz that is still in doubt. U.S. President Donald Trump has lashed out at allies for not doing more to support the United States’ war effort in Iran, whose chokehold on the strait has crippled international shipping and sent energy prices soaring. In March, Trump told NATO allies to “go get your own oil” and secure the strait themselves. On the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, the U.K.’s Royal Navy is preparing to do that — but only once a peace agreement is reached. Trump said Saturday that a deal with Iran has been “largely negotiated” after calls with Israel and other allies in the region, but it still needs finalizing. Britain’s Armed Forces Minister Al Carns took a small group of reporters to visit the RFA Lyme Bay as it prepares for a possible international operation, led by the U.K. and France, to secure the strait. As Carns spoke, the amphibious landing vessel, docked at the gateway to the Mediterranean, was being loaded with ammunition and mine-hunting sea drones equipped with sonar. With a crew of several hundred sailors, the RFA Lyme Bay will soon depart Gibraltar to link up with the U.K. destroyer HMS Dragon and allied ships for air support before sailing through the Suez Canal to the Persian Gulf. “Which other country can pull together 40 nations and come up with a solution to deal with a complex problem that we couldn’t predict because we weren’t involved?” asked
