Mobility giant Uber is open to partnering with its ousted founder Travis Kalanick in his new autonomous vehicle venture, chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi told ET in an interview, marking the first public acknowledgment from the company that it may work with its former chief again. âWeâre already working with Travis in the restaurant space, and I have enormous respect for himâheâs our founder. If opportunities emerge in other areas, weâd certainly look at them seriously because there are very few entrepreneurs I trust as much,â Khosrowshahi said during his five-day India visit last week. The comments come amid renewed momentum in the autonomous driving space, with companies such as Waymo, Tesla and Zoox accelerating commercial deployments and partnerships. Also Read: Uber still ahead despite stiffening competition, playing to win: CEO Dara Khosrowshahi In March, US technology publication The Information reported that Kalanick was preparing to launch a new self-driving car and robotics venture with significant backing from Uber. The report said Kalanick wanted to move more aggressively on autonomous vehicle rollouts than existing operators such as Waymo. Kalanick, who was forced out of Uber in 2017 following a series of governance and workplace controversies, had originally spearheaded Uberâs autonomous driving ambitions. The company later sold its self-driving unit, Advanced Technologies Group (ATG), to Aurora in 2020 under Khosrowshahiâs leadership. Tune in | Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi on AI, EVs & why India could become Uberâs biggest market Since then, Uber has shifted to a partnership-led strategy in autonomous mobility instead of building the technology in-house. The company has struck several deals across the globe with autonomous vehicle companies, including Waymo, Motional and May Mobility, to integrate robotaxis onto its platform. Earlier this year, Kalanick also unveiled a new robotics-focused company called Atoms, which combines his ghost kitchen business CloudKitchens with

Reduce motion sickness and increase immersion Expect to expand self-driving content 'ACM CHI 2026' Ahead of the era of fully autonomous driving, a technology has been developed by domestic researchers to increase the sense of immersion in VR content that can be enjoyed in vehicles while reducing motion sickness. Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) announced on the 18th that a research team led by Kim Seung-joon, a professor of AI convergence, has developed an in-vehicle XR (Extended Reality) technology called Force Mapping that utilizes the actual movement of vehicles as a VR environment change factor. With the development of autonomous driving technology, more and more attempts are being made to use the interior of vehicles as games, videos, education, and work spaces, but dizziness and immersion problems have been pointed out as limitations due to differences between vehicle movement and VR screens. The research team solved this problem by connecting the acceleration, deceleration, rotation, and road vibration of the vehicle to visual effects and spatial changes in VR. When the vehicle's inertial measurement unit (IMU) and GPS module detect movement in real time, effects such as spatial shaking, waves, waves, and falling objects react together on the VR screen. As a result of the study, it was found that when movement is expressed in the form of environmental change, immersion and situational awareness are improved and the level of motion sickness is reduced compared to the conventional method of simply reproducing vehicle movement. In particular, the research team also confirmed that it is more natural to express the direction and strength of the vehicle by emphasizing some of it rather than implementing the physical movement of the vehicle in the same way as it actually is. The effects of "ground tilt" and "space shaking" are typical examples. This

Robotaxis coming to London pose a threat to traditional cabbies who memorize 25,000 streets to earn licenses London's black cab drivers, already besieged by rideshare companies, may soon face another threat: AI-powered, autonomous taxis. Yet many drivers feel they can offer something that AI can't – deep knowledge of the city's ancient streets and medieval alleyways. To get a cab license, drivers must pass the Knowledge, a 161-year-old test that requires memorizing 25,000 streets and thousands of landmarks and businesses. The exam process also tests an aspiring cabbie's ability to determine the shortest route between two random points, and articulate it on the fly. Tom Scullion, who's been driving one of London's black cabs for more than 30 years, says this knowledge is what makes Google Maps inferior to a black cab driver. "It's like comparing a hot dog vendor to Gordon Ramsay," Scullion said, referring to the British celebrity chef. This knowledge will soon be tested like never before. Autonomous vehicles, powered by AI, aren't picking up passengers yet, but several tech companies are already trying out their cars in London. What it takes to become a black cab driver in London Trust and confidence in cabbies dates back to 1865 when the Knowledge exam was first introduced to London's horse drawn cabmen. Today, aspiring cabbies head to the Transport for London office, which oversees transportation in the city, for a series of oral exams known as "appearances." Candidates are quizzed on how to get between two random points as examiners measure the distance, ensuring they're calling the shortest route. Some cabbie hopefuls try dozens of times over years to pass the test. Anshu Moorjani successfully completed the Knowledge this past week after trying to pass for the last five years. The memorization required to be a black cab

In autonomous and self-driving vehicle news are Waymo, Uber, Rivian, Lucid Nuro, Ouster, NVIDIA, Amazon, Stradvision, Volvo, Aptiv, Innoviz TIER IV, Sony, Isuzu, AiMotive & Bitsensing. Waymo Way Out of Control in Atlanta & Dallas Alphabet Inc.’s autonomous driving subsidiary Waymo faced consecutive fleet routing and operational failures this week, prompting software modifications and highlighting persistent edge-case challenges in robotaxi deployment. The multi-city disruptions began when standard navigation algorithms failed to detect flooded roadways, forcing Waymo to deploy a critical over-the-air software update to prevent vehicles from entering submerged infrastructure. Simultaneously, localized routing anomalies caused a high-density bottleneck in an Atlanta suburban cul-de-sac, where multiple empty autonomous vehicles became immobilized, blocking resident traffic due to a geometric mapping and turnaround conflict. Further operational strain emerged in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, where an autonomous vehicle was documented violating basic traffic control infrastructure by traversing a red light at a high-volume intersection. The Dallas infraction follows recent regulatory scrutiny regarding autonomous vehicle behavior at intersections and underscores ongoing issues with perception-system decision-making under variable urban conditions. Waymo has not disclosed whether the Texas red-light violation stemmed from a localized sensory perception error, a remote-assistance intervention lag, or a broader path-planning software anomaly. Uber vs. Waymo Market Rivalry The commercial partnership between Uber Technologies Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Waymo is fracturing as Uber shifts toward a standalone autonomous vehicle strategy, committing over $10 billion to proprietary vehicle purchase agreements and equity investments. Uber executives have escalated public criticism of autonomous-only operators like Waymo, characterizing pure-play Level 4 robotaxi models as structurally less scalable and reliable than hybrid dispatch networks that merge human drivers with autonomous fleets. This rhetoric marks a definitive departure from prior cross-platform collaboration, driven by Waymo’s rapid direct-to-consumer expansion across 24 new metropolitan markets via its independent Waymo One application,

Visakhapatnam: Prof P Bharani Chandra of GITAM Deemed to be University has developed an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) to monitor shrimp ponds and detect diseases early. The system tracks key water parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity and temperature across multiple pond locations. Data is transmitted to farmers in offline mode via radio frequency, with instant alerts when any parameter crosses threshold limits. The collected data is transmitted to farmers in offline mode using radio-frequency communication. In addition, the vehicle is programmed to generate immediate alerts whenever any parameter exceeds the predefined threshold levels. In conventional shrimp farming practices, farmers manually collect water samples once every few days or weeks and send them to laboratories for analysis. Obtaining laboratory reports may take several more days, by which time the spread of disease or deterioration in water quality may already have intensified, resulting in significant crop losses. Although fixed underwater sensors have previously been developed elsewhere in the country, their monitoring capability is limited to the specific locations where they are installed and may therefore not accurately represent the overall pond conditions. Speaking to TOI, Prof P Bharani Chandra, who is also serving as director of the Centre for Autonomous Systems at GITAM, said that the newly developed autonomous vehicle overcomes this limitation by navigating throughout the pond and collecting spatially distributed real-time data. âThis mobility enables comprehensive monitoring of the entire aquaculture environment, improves the accuracy of disease detection, and allows farmers to take timely preventive measures. For example, contamination in shrimp ponds may often be confined to a specific area, while water samples collected manually from another location may fail to detect the problem. As contamination in aquaculture ponds generally spreads gradually, early detection can help farmers take timely remedial and culture-management measures to minimise losses,â said Prof

Polaris is known for producing a family of reliable MRZR tactical vehicles, including several variants. Recently, Zona Militar spoke with company executive John LaFata about the company’s ongoing contracts, projects, and long-term objectives. LaFata told ZM that there are “a lot of international contracts” that Polaris is working on, “but we will cover them at SOF week.” (Special Operations Forces Week is a major defense expo in Tampa, Florida, running 18-21 May). So far, there are no reports of Latin American militaries placing new orders for the tactical vehicles manufactured by Polaris. However, it is worth noting that the armies of Argentina and El Salvador already operate the MRZR tactical vehicle. Polaris told ZM that at SOF Week, the company will display a variety of vehicles and other projects. Some of the highlights include: the Forterra MESA, an autonomous ground vehicle based on the Polaris RANGER XD 1500; an MRZR Alpha equipped with the Freedom Atlantic Communications System; and a MRZR Alpha 6×6 with an updated Marine Corps Vehicle Common Launcher (VCL) and Northrop Grumman Jackal. The USMC and the ULTV The Ultra-Light Tactival Vehicle program for the US Marine Corps moves forward, with Polaris as the sole supplier of ULTVs. The US government contracting method known as IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity) was announced on the US government site, SAM.gov, on 31 March 2026. The announcement explains that the award is expected to be issued “in the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2026 with an approximate ordering period of 60 months.” The anticipated IDIQ contract will specifically provide the US Marines with ULTVs, which can be transported aboard the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey military transport and cargo aircraft and the Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion rotary-wing aircraft for “littoral operations.” This acquisition program “will meet Force Design 2030 priority integration

Nearly a year after Waymos touched down in Atlanta for the first time, residents of the community of Buckhead, Georgia have noted a massive influx of the company’s autonomous vehicles trying to forge a path through their neighborhood. The result is a massive increase in vehicle traffic — and occasional weird ritual-like scenes as the AVs circle cul-de-sacs for hours on end. “It’s almost every little cul-de-sac in our area, so I think it’s a problem,” one neighbor told the local WSBTV. While it’d be forgivable if residents were just going hog-wild on Waymo rideshares, most of the AVs filmed by residents appear completely empty. One clip making the rounds on social media shows numerous Waymos simultaneously roll into an otherwise deserted roundabout, circling ominously like something out of a Stephen King story. While it’s possible the algorithmically-guided vehicles are using area roundabouts to correct their direction of travel — where most humans would just pull a U-turn or look for a driveway to K-turn in— the visual effect of multiple Waymos loitering like buzzards is startling, to say the say least. “We had, at one point, eight Waymos that were stuck trying to figure out how to turn around,” a local resident said. In the US and Canada, most suburbs are designed to accommodate heavy traffic at arterial collector roads — it’s unusual for a road lined with houses to become major throughways. “We would like to just see them stay on main traffic roads,” one neighbor told WSBTV. “I don’t think there’s any reason for them to be on small residential cul-de-sacs if they’re not picking up somebody.” Residents say they’ve struggled to get any response from Waymo representatives, and requests to city council members and the Georgia Department of Transportation seem to be in limbo. However, when

A spokesperson for Waymo says its autonomous vehicle service in the Valley won’t be impacted by a recall of its entire fleet. Last week, Waymo announced a recall of more than 3,700 vehicles to address a software defect that caused some to drive into flooded roadways in San Antonio following recent severe storms. According to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, the affected cars include those with the company’s fifth Automated Driving System — the same software used by Waymos serving the public in the Phoenix metro region. A spokesperson for the company told KJZZ that there are “no disruptions” to vehicles or services in Phoenix. Waymo also says its working to “implement additional software safeguards” and addressing extreme weather conditions. - Open parking spaces can be elusive on the streets of downtown Phoenix. Finding one can require a little luck. And you may feel even luckier if you find one with a broken parking meter. But you still have to pay. - A Maricopa County judge won’t pause a lawsuit filed by Attorney General Kris Mayes against Fondomonte, the Saudi Arabian farming company she accused of overpumping groundwater in La Paz County. - As usual, KJZZ contributor Robrt Pela has something on his mind. This time, it’s about the growing trend in what Pela calls “cyber begging.” He’s not a fan of the GoFundMe posts he’s seeing more and more of these days. - A Maricopa County judge ruled that the Axon bill, which cleared the way for the body camera and Taser manufacturer to build its new headquarters in Scottsdale, is not unconstitutional. - Amid megadrought, extreme heat and facing even more cutbacks to water supply, modern farming and agriculture have had to make major adjustments.

According to the county government, the incident occurred on Saturday night when a truck carrying 15 people fell into the water while crossing a flooded bridge in Luoyang Town. Five people were rescued, one was confirmed dead and 9 others remain missing. The office and the ministry on Sunday held a consultation with meteorological, water resources and other departments, as well as 17 provincial-level regions, including Guangxi and Hubei, to assess the development of the current round of rainfall and make arrangements for flood prevention work in key areas. According to the consultation, the current round of widespread heavy rainfall is expected to gradually move eastward and southward from May 17 to 19. Authorities called for close attention to risks, including mountain torrents, geological disasters, flooding in small and medium-sized rivers, risks at small and medium-sized reservoirs, and urban waterlogging. The consultation urged stronger monitoring, forecasting and early warning, as well as improved cross-regional and interdepartmental information sharing. It also called for comprehensive risk assessments by meteorological, water resources and natural resources authorities to support targeted

Tesla is at it again. A few months ago, the official X account encouraged blind drivers and elderly drivers to use Full Self-Driving mode, sharing stories of people who claimed they would otherwise not be allowed on the road without it. Now, Tesla has shared the story of a man born without arms. The X post, which appeared on Tesla’s account, was written by a man going by John F. He said he was born without arms and has been driving with his feet since he got his license. He said: “I’m a fully licensed driver, and traditionally I drove with my left foot on the steering wheel and my right foot handling the gas and brake. My only legal restrictions are automatic transmission and power steering.” It would seem like an inspiring story. However, John F. added that his birth defects have led to severe arthritis in his hips. He explained that his new Model Y with Full Self-Driving mode has been a “game-changer” for him, reducing the physical pressure and fatigue of driving. He added that FSD gave him his freedom back. The same story of the man with failing eyesight who was sold a Cybertruck. And the elderly lady who was encouraged to use FSD since she’s too frail and slow to drive. Why is Tesla allowed to keep selling lies and making dangerous claims? Let’s be real for a second here. Elon Musk promised autonomous driving over 10 years ago. However, Full Self-Driving mode has been nowhere near that. While it’s considered a Level 2 system capability-wise, Musk has continued to claim it’s capable of a lot more than that. This is very dangerous, as Tesla fanboys are willing to listen to everything Musk says — and blindly believe it. This means there are tons of

Volvo Autonomous Solutions and DSV Launch Autonomous Freight Operations Between Dallas and Houston Volvo Autonomous Solutions and DSV have initiated autonomous freight operations between Dallas and Houston, according to a report from FreightWaves. Volvo Autonomous Solutions, referred to as VAS, is deploying its Autona/freight solution for DSV. The Autona/freight platform integrates the Volvo VNL Autonomous truck with self-driving technology developed by partners Aurora and Waabi. The operations run between Aurora's terminals in Dallas and Houston and are directly integrated into DSV's existing logistics flows on a depot-to-depot basis. This initiative is part of a broader effort to incorporate driverless technology into large-scale logistics networks, with both companies planning to expand to additional lanes over time. During the initial phase, a safety driver will remain in the vehicle, consistent with Volvo's current operational protocols. The depot-to-depot setup is intended to help both companies build operational experience before scaling to more routes. Helmut Schweighofer, CEO of DSV Road, stated that autonomous driving is moving toward real-world operations, describing the collaboration with Volvo in Texas as a production, depot-to-depot setup. He noted clear opportunities to improve safety and driver comfort, help mitigate a growing driver shortage, and enable better asset utilization through 24/7 operations for customer benefit. Sasko Cuklev, head of on-road solutions at VAS, emphasized the strategic importance of logistics providers as a customer segment. Cuklev said that logistics providers like DSV represent an important customer group for Volvo Autonomous Solutions, and that DSV is at the forefront of applying autonomous transport in real logistics networks. He added that starting between Dallas and Houston, the companies plan to move freight in a way that supports round-the-clock operations and creates a scalable foundation for adding more lanes over time. VAS has logged more than one million miles in local and regional hauls since

PHOENIX — Getting to a job can be just as hard as landing one — especially for teenagers in the Phoenix metro area. Extreme heat, spread-out neighborhoods and limited late-night transit options leave many Valley teens dependent on parents or public transportation that doesn’t always reach where they need to go. “One of the biggest barriers we find... we hear from our kids and our families, is transportation,” said Josh Stine, VP of External Affairs for Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley. “If their parents can’t get them there, and maybe the bus isn’t working, or they can’t get access to the light rail, it limits opportunities to take internships.” Now, BGCAZ is doing something about it. The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley just launched the AZYouthforce Workforce Mobility Pilot in Phoenix, pairing up to 40 teens with autonomous Waymo rides to and from paid summer internships, at no cost to participants. The program taps into Waymo’s teen accounts feature, launched in Phoenix last year, which allows riders as young as 14 to travel independently once a parent links their account. From there, teens can hail fully self-driving rides across more than 300 square miles of the Valley on their own. For intern Genesis Sabinon, the prospect is both a relief and a thrill. “Both of my parents work, so it would definitely be stressful,” she said. “But now, not only am I not stressed out, but my parents are not stressed out. I don’t have to worry about transportation, so it’s all good.” She’s been on a Waymo before. “…and it’s pretty cool, honestly… no driver or anything,” she said. “Being able to listen to your music and everything… That’s the best part.” Before the rides began, teens and their parents went through safety training, set

Tesla reveals details of 17 ‘Robotaxi’ crashes: New safety concerns emerge The release provides the first detailed look at all 17 incidents recorded during its Robotaxi testing program. For months, Tesla stood out among autonomous vehicle companies for one reason: it kept the details of its self-driving crash reports hidden from public view. While other operators submitted detailed incident summaries to the US regulator, Tesla blacked out every narrative entirely, labeling them as confidential business information. That has now changed, and the newly available reports suggest a more nuanced picture than many expected. Most of the 17 incidents involving Tesla’s autonomous driving system were caused by other road users, rather than failures of the software itself. Still, several reports raise new questions, including a handful of incidents where the system’s decisions or reactions appear less straightforward. Companies like Waymo, Zoox, Avride and May Mobility routinely submitted multi-paragraph descriptions to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Tesla alone replaced every account with the same redacted placeholder, making it the only operator to withhold the narratives under the agency’s crash reporting order. Data shows most Tesla Robotaxi incidents were caused by other drivers The release provides the first detailed look at all 17 incidents recorded during its Robotaxi testing program in Austin between July 2025 and March 2026. All incidents involved 2026 Tesla Model Y vehicles operating with the autonomous driving system engaged and a human safety monitor onboard. Most were relatively minor: 13 caused property damage only, two had no injuries, one resulted in a minor injury without hospitalization, and one involved a minor injury requiring hospital treatment. The reports show a pattern already seen across the industry, Electrek writes. Many crashes happened while Tesla vehicles were stationary, waiting at traffic lights, stop signs or in slow traffic. In multiple cases,

DRIVERLESS VEHICLES WILL SOON be a more common sight in the West Valley as autonomous ride-sharing company Waymo expands into the region — leaving local officials grappling with concerns about safety and transit impacts. Waymo will begin operating in West Valley cities such as Cupertino and Campbell in the coming weeks, as well as Willow Glen and Vista Park in San Jose. A spokesperson said the latest expansion covers approximately 60 square miles, bringing Waymo’s total Bay Area service area to more than 330 square miles. The company recently expanded its service area into the South Bay, including at San Jose Mineta International Airport. “As San Jose and other cities prepare to host global events like the FIFA World Cup, the expanded footprint will also help both residents and visitors move around the city safely and efficiently,” spokesperson Sandy Karp told San José Spotlight. Campbell Mayor Dan Furtado said the city manager is setting up a meeting with a Waymo representative for a later date. “All I know is Waymo is planning to come, I only know what I’ve read in the news,” Furtado told San José Spotlight. State regulators, not cities, oversee autonomous vehicle approvals in California, which means local governments have little authority over whether Waymo operates on their streets. Elected leaders in the West Valley said they see potential benefits in the technology, including safer driving behavior and improved transportation access. But they have also raised questions about accountability, public transit competition and how residents will respond as driverless cars enter smaller cities. After meeting with a Waymo representative, Los Gatos Mayor Rob Moore said he was surprised to learn local municipalities have no authority over autonomous vehicle operations. The California Department of Motor Vehicles and California Public Utilities Commission handle all approvals. Moore said Waymo previously
