City Times staffers climbed into an Uber in San Francisco on a recent trip to the Bay Area for a media conference, taking the opportunity to do some reporting on the side. No sooner had Waymos been brought up by journalist Samira Hassan did the driver, Sandy Hui, share her straightforward opinion on the autonomous robocars sharing the road with her. “Oh, I don’t like them,” she said. Waymo made its debut in San Francisco in November 2024 as the first fully public autonomous robotaxi, shaking up the existing rideshare industry. To see what it was like, the City Times reporters ventured to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge in the self-driving Waymo. The autonomous car traveled throughout the city of San Francisco, sporting a bright white exterior of a Jaguar I-PACE with the addition of a black leather interior, controlled climate and choice of personal music selection.

Technology Pony.ai Unveils New "PonyWorld 2.0" AI Engine and Launches Europe's First Robotaxi Service in Zagreb Image: (c) PonyAI Pony.ai is accelerating the commercialization of autonomous vehicles on two fronts: with the launch of its new "PonyWorld 2.0" AI platform, the company is fundamentally advancing its software architecture, while simultaneously launching Europe's first commercial robotaxi service. Pony.ai is accelerating the commercialization of autonomous vehicles on two fronts: with the launch of its new "PonyWorld 2.0" AI platform, the company is fundamentally advancing its software architecture, while simultaneously launching Europe's first commercial robotaxi service. The company recently introduced "PonyWorld 2.0," its next generation of autonomous driving software. At its core is a "self-improving physical AI engine" that does more than just learn vehicle behavior from data; it actively analyzes and optimizes its own decision-making processes. The system is based on an enhanced world model that precisely maps real-world traffic situations while integrating an "intention layer." This allows the AI to understand, evaluate, and systematically improve its own choices. Alongside these technological advancements, Pony.ai is pushing forward with the global expansion of its fleets. A key milestone in this strategy is the launch of Europe's first commercial robotaxi service in Zagreb. The service is operated in partnership with Uber and the mobility provider Verne. While Pony.ai provides the autonomous driving technology, Verne handles local operations, and Uber manages the platform integration. At launch, the service covers an area of approximately 35 square miles (90 square kilometers) in the greater Zagreb area, including the airport. The vehicles operate daily from 7 AM to 9 PM. Initially, rides can be booked via the Verne app, with integration into the Uber app planned for the future.

The promise of physical AI is that engineers will be able to program physical agents the same way they do digital ones. We’re not there yet. Robotics is still held back by a paucity of data from physical spaces. To train their machines, companies need to build mock-up warehouses to test their machines, while an entire industry is springing up around surveilling factory lines and gig workers to train deep learning models to operate robots. Another option is simulation; detailed virtual replicas of real-world environments could provide the data and workspaces that roboticists need to do this work in a scalable way. Antioch, a startup building simulation tools for robot developers, wants to close what the industry calls the sim-to-real gap — the challenge of making virtual environments realistic enough that robots trained inside them can operate reliably in the physical world. “How can we do the best possible job reducing that gap, to make simulation feel just like the real world from the perspective of your autonomous system?” Antioch co-founder Harry Mellsop said. To do that, the company told TechCrunch today that it has raised an $8.5 million seed round that values it at $60 million, led by venture firm A* and Category Ventures, with additional participation from MaC Venture Capital, Abstract, Box Group, and Icehouse Ventures. Mellsop started the New York-based company with four co-founders in May of last year. Two of the other founders, Alex Langshur and Michael Calvey, joined him to co-found Transpose, a security and intelligence startup, and sell it to Chainalysis for an undisclosed amount. The other two — Collin Schlager and Colton Swingle — previously worked at Meta Reality Labs and Google DeepMind, respectively. Meet your next investor or portfolio startup at Disrupt Your next round.

Orange Vevor ducting hoses outlined a track used by students from different clubs to host the first self-driving car race at UCF in the L3Harris Engineering Center Friday night. “We literally expected our car to, like, blow up,” Sreemahesh Tadepalli, junior aerospace engineering, said. “We weren't expecting anything, and we got the fastest lap.” The race was measured by which group’s vehicle completed the most laps and had the shortest amount of time completing those laps. Tadepalli and his group’s vehicle, named “Gurt” after a friend’s nickname, raced 17 laps, with one of the laps completed in the shortest amount of time in the grand prix, which was about 14 seconds. His group represented the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. “Ours wasn’t even working like two hours ago,” Tadepalli said. The team split itself into three groups to create an autonomous vehicle: mechanical, software, and electrical. Tadepalli said the team wanted to challenge themselves to use the cheapest materials and use “the most bare bones stuff to make the best car.” When other groups used higher-level computers, Tadepalli said he and his team used a Pi 4, a cheaper single-board computer used for the software. Like Tadepalli, students said they lost many hours of sleep working to program, design, and build their autonomous vehicles, meaning they use software and sensors to move on their own. “They spent like three nights doing this, no sleep, only Taco Bell,” Tadepalli said. “I just know it was an absolute living hell.” Israel Charles, coordinator of the AI Racers, said he was up until about 3 a.m. the day of the race, helping and guiding the teams since some of the vehicles still did not work properly. “At first, it seemed like they were moving really slow, but eventually, it started speeding up,” Charles

Maryland lawmakers don't authorize driverless vehicles before legislative session ends Maryland lawmakers pumped the brakes on authorizing autonomous vehicles to drive in the state, according to our media partner, The Baltimore Banner. In 2025, Waymo announced plans to bring its driverless ride-share vehicle to 15 more cities, including Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Manual driving tests of Waymo vehicles started last December. Waymo and other driverless vehicles need special permits in Maryland to operate fully autonomously and carry passengers. "We'll explore every available avenue to gain the certainty needed to invest millions of dollars in the jobs and infrastructure required to support our Baltimore operations," Ethan Teicher, a spokesperson for Waymo, told The Banner. "We want to bring our technology to the state of Maryland, and we've heard from people across the state who want access to the safety and accessibility benefits of our ride-hailing service." Waymo testify to Maryland lawmakers In March, Waymo representatives testified in front of the Maryland House of Delegates and the state Senate to advocate for two bills that would authorize autonomous vehicles in Maryland. "All you need to do is use the Waymo app," Teicher said last month. "You can hail a vehicle just like any other rideshare service. The only big difference is that you're all alone by yourself. It's your private space, and it's the same driver, so to speak, every time." Advocating for autonomous cars Supporters last month told CBS News Baltimore that autonomous vehicles, including Waymo, could make roads safer, "The human driver — we love them — but they are not the best behind the wheel of a vehicle in the state of Maryland or in the U.S.," John Seng, the founder and chair of SafeRoadsMD, previously.

Gasgoo Munich- April 12. Speaking at the AI+Auto Forum during the Smart EV Development High-Level Forum (2026), DeepRoute.ai CEO Zhou Guang noted a distinct issue. Traditional small-model autonomous driving suffers from a "seesaw effect." Performance varies wildly across scenarios, representing a fundamental capability constraint. The industry must pivot comprehensively to large models and embrace foundation models. This drives an evolution in cognitive capabilities. Zhou Guang disclosed DeepRoute.ai has delivered nearly 300,000 production vehicles equipped with its city NOA system. This prevented over 180,000 potential collisions in the past year. By the fourth quarter of 2025, the top three players in the third-party NOA market captured 99%. DeepRoute held 15.51% to secure its spot in the first tier. Yet despite a market size exceeding 120 billion yuan, city NOA penetration hovers around 15%. User stickiness remains weak, highlighting an urgent need to shift the technology from "usable" to "loved." He explained that DeepRoute has developed a foundation model with 40 billion parameters. It integrates driving, analysis, and evaluation capabilities. This advancement slashed the data closed-loop cycle from more than five days to roughly 12 hours. Built on this single foundation model, the system supports compute solutions ranging from 100 TOPS to over 1,000 TOPS. For 2026, DeepRoute targets deliveries of over 1 million city NOA vehicles. It aims to boost high-frequency user usage to above 50%. This is a critical step toward large-scale Robotaxi application.

Uber Technologies (NYSE:UBER | UBER Price Prediction) stock is up 7% today, rising from $72.91 to $77.76, while Lyft (NASDAQ:LYFT) stock is up 7% as well, climbing from $13.71 to $14.66. Both rideshare giants are surging midday as investors respond to a wave of autonomous vehicle commitments and shareholder-friendly capital moves. So, let’s break down what’s actually driving the rally and what it means for investors watching these two very different-sized companies move in lockstep today. The broader autonomous vehicle theme is heating up across the market. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock is also surging today, up 7% on its own robotaxi momentum, and that rising tide is lifting the entire rideshare sector. Uber’s $10 billion Robotaxi Bet Uber announced a $10 billion investment in robotaxi technology, a move that signals the company is serious about owning the autonomous vehicle platform race. That’s not a small commitment. It reinforces Uber Technologies CEO Dara Khosrowshahi’s stated ambition of “becoming the largest facilitator of AV [autonomous vehicle] trips in the world.” Uber’s strategy isn’t to build the cars; it’s to be the platform that aggregates autonomous fleets from multiple providers. Uber already has existing robotaxi partnerships and has positioned its platform as the aggregator for autonomous vehicle fleets from multiple providers, giving it a network-effect advantage that’s hard to replicate. The fundamental picture backs the confidence. In Q4 2025, Uber reported revenue of $14.37 billion, up 20% year over year, with free cash flow hitting a record $2.81 billion, up 65% year over year. Trips reached 3.8 billion in Q4, up 22% year over year, and Uber Technologies spent $6.5 billion on buybacks in full-year 2025 after authorizing a $20 billion share repurchase program in Q2 2025. Wall Street is broadly on board. 46 analysts rate UBER stock a Buy versus just 1 Sell,

Monarch Tractor’s assets have been acquired by construction giant Caterpillar, after struggling to pivot to a software services business, according to filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The acquisition, first reported by Bloomberg, caps a few tough years for Monarch as it went through multiple rounds of layoffs, was sued by three different dealers, and lost a major contract manufacturing partner in Foxconn. It also comes just a few weeks after co-founder and wine scion Carlo Mondavi said he was “pushed out” after disagreeing with CEO Praveen Penmetsa’s software-forward approach. Mondavi couldn’t be immediately reached for comment. Penmetsa declined to comment beyond a statement Monarch issued last week, which said its technology had been acquired by an unspecified “large global equipment manufacturer.” Caterpillar didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Monarch raised more than $200 million over the last eight years. It was founded in 2018 by Mondavi, Penmetsa, and former Tesla executive Mark Schwager. The goal was to build “driver optional” electric tractors that were also capable of autonomously navigating wineries, fruit farms, and dairy farms. While Monarch initially set out to build the small tractors at its own facility in Livermore, California, it eventually became one of four companies that partnered up with Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn to occupy a former General Motors factory in Lordstown, Ohio. Foxconn planned to build vehicles for EV startups Fisker, Lordstown Motors, and IndiEV, as well as the tractors for Monarch. But Foxconn only ever made a few electric trucks for Lordstown Motors (which it bought the factory from) before that company went bankrupt. Fisker and IndiEV also went bankrupt before Foxconn could ever make those companies’ future vehicles at the factory. Foxconn did make a few hundred Monarch tractors at the factory, but the electronics giant sold

The Royal Australian Navy has formally named the Maritime Autonomous Systems Unit (MASU), marking a key step in Navy’s transition to a more integrated and highly advanced technology‑enabled future force. Australian Defence press release MASU has been created through Project SEA 1200 to accelerate the development, integration and operational employment of maritime autonomous systems, optimised for persistent, long‑range intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance and strike missions. The unit will operate multiple complementary capabilities, including the Ghost Shark extra-large autonomous underwater vehicle (XL-UUV), Bluebottle uncrewed surface vessel (USV) and the Speartooth large uncrewed underwater vehicle (LUUV). The unit comprises the Uncrewed Systems Control Centre and Deployable Vehicle Team, enabling the deployment and control of autonomous systems from any wharf location anywhere in the world. MASU’s motto, ‘We Wait, We Strike’, reflects the strategic impact of maritime uncrewed systems through multifaceted roles, including extended endurance and kinetic strike effect. Officer in Charge of MASU Commander Chris Forward said it was exciting to see Navy’s newest unit taking shape. “Announcing MASU’s name gives the team a formal sense of identity as we work to rapidly introduce this capability into the Fleet,” Commander Forward said. As part of the Royal Australian Navy’s contribution to AUKUS Pillar Two, MASU will act as the focal point for doctrine development, experimentation, employment, training, and test and evaluation of maritime uncrewed systems. The unit will work closely with Defence industry, research partners and international allies to rapidly deliver emerging capabilities. Commander Submarines Commodore Dan Sutherland said he was pleased to see MASU continue its progress towards full integration into Navy. “MASU will provide Navy with a long-range autonomous undersea capability through uncrewed systems like the Ghost Shark XL-UUV, Bluebottle USV and Speartooth LUUV to provide a range of asymmetric options to complement Defence’s existing crewed force,” Commodore Sutherland said.

Pony.ai has unveiled PonyWorld 2.0, a major upgrade to its proprietary world model designed to accelerate the development and deployment of autonomous driving systems. "PonyWorld 2.0 is an important step toward a more self-improving approach to autonomous driving development," said Dr Tiancheng Lou, founder and CTO of Pony.ai. "As AI systems become more capable, they can play a larger role not only in learning to drive, but also in guiding their own improvement — making L4 development more scalable over time." PonyWorld 2.0 The new system introduces self-diagnosis capabilities, allowing AI models to identify their own weaknesses, guide targeted data collection, and prioritise training on complex driving scenarios. Unlike traditional simulation tools, PonyWorld has evolved into a full reinforcement learning system that supports both cloud-based training and real-world vehicle deployment. According to Pony.ai, improving its "Virtual Driver" now depends on enhancing the accuracy and realism of the world model used to train it. The upgraded platform features a structured intention layer, enabling the system to analyse its decisions, compare outcomes, and generate targeted data collection tasks. Human teams then gather relevant real-world data to refine the model, to create a continuous feedback loop. PonyWorld 2.0 has already been deployed across the company's Level 4 fleet, improving safety, ride comfort, and traffic efficiency. Following successful robotaxi operations in two major Chinese cities, Pony.ai is expanding globally, aiming to deploy over 3,000 vehicles across 20 cities by year's end.

AP ILLINOIS TEAMSTERS DEMAND LAWMAKERS REJECT ANTI-WORKER WAYMO BILL Big Tech Handout Threatens Workers and Public Safety in Illinois SPRINGFIELD, Ill., April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Illinois Teamsters and the Labor Alliance for Public Transportation (LAPT) announced a new partnership to stop the Autonomous Vehicle Pilot Project Act (IL SB3392/HB5103). The legislation, which is being backed by Big Tech companies like Waymo, would harm middle-class jobs and jeopardize motorist safety by allowing Autonomous Vehicle (AV) companies to unleash untested and dangerous products on Illinois roads within the next three years. "Autonomous vehicles are bad for workers and communities," said Tom Stiede, President of Teamsters Joint Council 25. "That's why elected officials in Springfield need to kill the AV Pilot Project Act." Polling of Illinois voters shows that they overwhelmingly oppose fully driverless cars and trucks operating on the state's roads. "The question for lawmakers is simple: are you going to protect good, family-sustaining jobs, or are you going to replace them with machines?" said Chris Duncan, a Local 727 member and driver for Keurig Dr Pepper. "For working people, this isn't abstract. This fight is for our livelihoods and our families." This is the coalition's second initiative, following last year's success in saving Illinois' public transit system. In recent months, multiple states have cancelled or postponed plans to expand AV legalization, including Minnesota, New York, Virginia, Washington, and Washington, D.C. Teamsters Joint Council 25 represents more than 125,000 hardworking men and women throughout Illinois and northwest Indiana. For
