Submit your updates here. › Today in Nashville Waymo's public rollout of autonomous vehicles in Nashville has become a test case for the technology's integration into daily urban life. Videos have surfaced showing Waymo's self-driving cars idling in intersections, stalling while navigating pedestrians, buses, and pedal taverns. While Waymo frames these incidents as learning opportunities, the pauses and delays are causing frustration among other road users and raising questions about the readiness of autonomous vehicles to seamlessly operate in a complex city environment. Why it matters The Nashville episodes expose a paradox - autonomy promises efficiency, yet the current friction demands human-in-the-loop oversight, at least temporarily. This suggests the road to widespread AV adoption will require not just better perception algorithms, but also integrated urban design, clear right-of-way rules, standardized signaling, and perhaps designated AV corridors before full citywide operation. The success of autonomous mobility may depend less on perfecting

This might sound like a strange question to ask, but: are potholes having a moment right now? Among the highly-touted achievements of recently-elected New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani is the city filling 100,000 potholes so far this year. And NYC’s government is not the only institution looking into ways to address easily-repaired infrastructure; a partnership between autonomous vehicle company Waymo and navigation software makers Waze also has pothole repairs on the (cybernetic) brain. Essentially, Waymo’s autonomous vehicles will be able to recognize potholes as they make their way around cities, which Waze’s software will then record, enabling local governments to know the locations of potholes in need of repair. Among the services offered by the Google-owned Waze is something called Waze for Cities, which — if their website is any indication — has partners all over the world, including Australia, Brazil and the United States. “As Waymo’s autonomous fleet travels across San Jose, we appreciate the collaboration with Waymo and Waze as we explore how technology can help identify issues like potholes faster so we can respond more efficiently,” said the city’s mayor, Matt Mahan, in a statement. Waymo plans to roll this service out in five metropolitan areas before expanding it to other cities. Waymo’s Robotaxis Are Safer Than You Might Think A recent analysis of accident data has some surprising resultsAs Natalie Neff points out in an article for Autoweek, pothole data will also be available to drivers using Waze, who will presumably be alerted to avoid any potholes on their route. It’s an interesting way of boosting Waymo’s popularity in a given city: presumably, having autonomous vehicles gathering data on unsafe conditions on the roads of a given city is something that could improve relations between the company and municipal governments. Infrastructure matters — and this

The past few months have been challenging for Tesla (TSLA +0.91%) shareholders. Shares of the electric vehicle (EV) giant are down roughly 30% from their December peak. This sharp correction has rippled across other major EV stocks as well. Rivian (RIVN +1.25%), for example, has also seen its shares lose roughly one-third of their value since late December. If you're looking to buy growth stocks with monster upside potential at a discount, this looks like your chance to add both of those automakers to your portfolio. 1. Rivian has several major growth catalysts on the way After their slump, Rivian shares look like they have growth potential. Two notable catalysts could arrive in force this year. NASDAQ: RIVN Key Data Points The first will be the launch of its R2 SUV. SUVs are one of the most popular categories of vehicles in the world today, and they've made major market share gains in recent years. More than half of U.S. auto sales are now SUVs. Rivian expects to begin deliveries of the R2 to employees this month, with external customer deliveries scheduled to ramp up over the summer. The potential here should not be discounted. Tesla's Model Y has been one of the best-selling cars in the world for several years straight, and it accounts for a majority of Tesla's auto sales. In many ways, the Model Y paved the way for Tesla to become a $1 trillion business. The Model Y has proven more popular than the Model 3 sedan despite its slightly higher price. The Model Y is a crossover, somewhat akin to an SUV form factor. SUVs and crossovers are way more popular than sedans right now, and have been for years. The Rivian R2 is expected to have a base price of around $45,000 -- roughly

Singapore’s robotaxi drive revs up with help from Chinese AV leaders
The city state is working with Chinese companies like WeRide and Pony.ai to test and deploy shuttle taxi services on public roads
Eventually, there will be no need for a safety officer or any human behind the wheel at all – mirroring the autonomous vehicles (AVs) already operating in cities such as Beijing, Shenzhen, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
For now, Singapore is in the early stages of rolling out AVs, specifically robotaxis, to the public.
Jeffrey Siow, the acting transport minister, said last September that the country aimed to have around 100 to 150 of these vehicles on the road by the end of this year.
Major ride-hailing companies Grab and ComfortDelGro were given the green light to collaborate with leading Chinese AV manufacturers WeRide and Pony.ai, respectively, to test and deploy shuttle taxi services on public roads in Punggol.
Chinese AV companies are industry leaders, experts say, and are keen to show that their vehicles can operate in international markets – despite profitability concerns, as most are still in the start-up phase and rely heavily on investments.

- United States - / - Transportation - / - NasdaqGS:LYFT Will Lyft’s (LYFT) Operational Bet on Waymo Robotaxis Reshape Its Autonomous Partnership Narrative? - Waymo and Lyft have already launched a new robotaxi service in Nashville, with Lyft’s Flexdrive unit managing vehicle maintenance, charging, and depot operations as Waymo focuses on supplying autonomous driving technology across multiple U.S. cities. - This marks Lyft’s first collaboration with Waymo, highlighting a shift where ride-hailing platforms compete to secure autonomous vehicle supply while taking on more capital-intensive operational roles. - Next, we’ll assess how Lyft’s deeper operational role in Waymo-powered robotaxis could influence its investment narrative around autonomous partnerships. We've uncovered the 11 dividend fortresses yielding 5%+ that don't just survive market storms, but thrive in them. Lyft Investment Narrative Recap To own Lyft today, you need to believe its record ride volumes and improving profitability can offset rising legal, regulatory, and operational pressures. The new federal sexual assault multidistrict litigation (MDL) intensifies Lyft’s biggest near term risk around passenger safety and potential legal liabilities, which could affect costs and brand trust more than its near term growth catalysts. The Waymo robotaxi launch in Nashville, with Lyft’s Flexdrive arm running maintenance and charging, is especially relevant here. It underscores how Lyft is moving deeper into capital intensive operations to secure autonomous supply, while still relying on partnerships to support growth and margin ambitions at a time when legal and regulatory scrutiny of its core rideshare model is increasing. Yet beneath the improving headline numbers, investors also need to weigh how growing safety litigation and regulatory scrutiny could reshape Lyft’s economics and risk profile... Read the full narrative on Lyft (it's free!) Lyft’s narrative projects $8.7 billion revenue and $324.2 million earnings by 2028. This requires 12.3% yearly revenue growth and about a

Key Points Many EV stocks are down big this year. Advances in AI will soon generate meaningful growth tailwinds. Artificial intelligence (AI) is already having meaningful impacts across a wide variety of sectors and end markets. Few industries will be as transformed by AI as transportation. That's because, after decades of failed promises, AI is now making truly autonomous vehicles possible for the first time. The market potential of autonomous vehicles is truly massive. One segment of this market alone could be worth up to $10 trillion globally. And there are two electric vehicle (EV) stocks in particular poised to benefit despite their shrinking valuations so far this year. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » 1. Rivian is my top growth stock for 2026 Early this year, I named Rivian(NASDAQ: RIVN) my top growth stock for 2026. The thesis was simple. Shares currently trade at just 3.4 times sales, with a market cap under $20 billion. But the company's first model priced under $50,000 -- its R2 SUV -- is expected to begin deliveries to employees this month, with scaled production and deliveries expected over the next few quarters. The potential for Rivian from this one move should not be understated. Tesla(NASDAQ: TSLA) provides the clearest example of how transformational the first affordable model can be for an EV stock. Today, more than 95% of the company's auto sales volumes stem from just two models: the Model 3 and Model Y. Both have base prices under $50,000. Scaling EV production is hard. Tesla almost went bankrupt trying to scale its Model 3 production. "The Model 3 ramp was extreme stress and pain for

Hyundai has revealed two concept vehicles that look pretty sick. But guess what? They are not coming to the United States. As part of its all-electric Ioniq lineup, Hyundai has unveiled two concept vehicles in Beijing at a Brand Launch Event ahead of Auto China 2026 on April 24th. These concepts are part of the brand’s new strategy: strengthen its presence in China’s new energy vehicle (NEV) market. “Starting with the two concept cars unveiled today, we will continue to present products that reflect deep insight into Chinese customers and our genuine commitment to this market,” said Li Fenggang, Beijing Hyundai Motor Co. President. “Built on Ioniq’s uncompromising principles of world-class safety and quality, we will soon introduce production models that seamlessly combine the smart driving and smart cabin experiences that Chinese consumers demand.” The Venus and Earth EVs are taking aim at China’s own EVs These two all-electric concepts are called Venus and Earth, not to be confused with Lucid’s upcoming mid-size SUVs with similar names. Hyundai chose “planet” names to symbolize how their vehicles will “orbit around the customer” as part of the “Ioniq universe.” Venus is a futuristic, innovative sedan, while Earth is an SUV designed for families. The Venus is inspired by the planet’s beauty, featuring a blend of luxurious purples and gold finishes, including dramatic lines throughout the high-tech exterior. Hyundai described it as having a “glowing atmosphere” with layered mood lighting highlighting the plush, sleek suede surfaces throughout. The exterior features an exposed-frame roof and a transparent spoiler, which play up its futuristic styling. The Earth has a blend of sharp edges and bold design that creates a robust, strong appearance. While the exterior looks quite aggressive, the inside reveals a lot more soothing features, like “air-hug” seats made of soft air modules and

Three major defense companies, Epirus, General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS), and Kodiak AI, have teamed up to develop a new autonomous vehicle for counter-uncrewed aerial vehicles (Counter-UAV) missions: the Leonidas Autonomous Ground Vehicle (AGV). The vehicle was unveiled at the recent AUSA Global Force Symposium & Exhibition expo in Alabama. Zona Militar spoke with Andrew Wargofchik, spokesperson for Epirus, about the Leonidas AGV and the company’s projects in Latin America. Regarding Colombia, Wargofchik explained that Epirus is engaging the Colombian Ministry of Defense regarding the “potential of integrating” the company’s high-power microwave (HPM) platform “into their counter-UAS shield.” The company is confident that other Latin American militaries and security services will similarly be interested in Epirus’s systems to combat drones operated by criminal gangs and narco-insurgents. The so-called narco-drones can transport explosives, drugs, or be utilized for surveillance missions. “The Leonidas high-power microwave platform is capable of supporting the Latin American counter-UAS initiatives” aimed at eliminating these threats. Wargofchik explained that the company’s technology is “scalable and modular, and works by injecting high levels of microwave energy into a precise volume of space, coupling directly into the electronics of incoming threats. Latin American militaries are very interested in counter-UAV technologies. Case in point, the Colombian Ministry of Defense is seeking to develop a counter-UAV “national shield,” while the Ecuadorian air force recently completed a training course on counter-UAV missions. As for the Leonidas AGV, the platform combines technologies from the three companies: GDLS provides the commercial-grade truck platform, Kodiak AI provides the autonomous driving system, and the payload is Epirus’ Leonidas high-power microwave system, designed to counter UAV threats. A press release issued by the three companies describes the AGV as a “mobile counter-UAS capability that can be operated without human intervention or teleoperated to extend the counter-UAS line of

Can Waymo and Waze fix cities' potholes? Transportation companies Waymo and Waze announced a new, pothole-patching pilot today, harnessing their troves of street data to map out areas in need of fixing. The program will rely on the perception and physical feedback systems built into Waymo's autonomous fleet vehicles to detect the location and condition of city potholes. That data will then be sent to city and state Departments of Transportation through the free Waze for Cities program, which provides real-time road data to partners. Waze users will be able to access and verify the data in the app, starting with riders in Los Angeles, when driving through areas with Waymo fleets. You May Also Like Waymo will pilot the data partnership in five cities to start: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Austin, and Atlanta, and plans to expand to cities with more complex transportation conditions, including harsh winters and freeze-thaw cycles. The company says it has already identified 500 potholes in need of filling. It says the partnership will "help fill reporting gaps and support cities’ efforts to maintain safer streets." Waymo recently launched its driverless fleet to riders in Nashville, part of an aggressive expansion across the U.S., including cities like Chicago and Charlotte — it's expected to debut in dozens more cities this year. Waymo is in direct competition with Tesla's robotaxi fleet and recently had a $16 billion financing round.

News Tesla Full Self-Driving gets first-ever European approval Tesla owners in the Netherlands with a Full Self-Driving subscription will receive a software update “shortly,” the company said, activating the operation of the company’s semi-autonomous driving tech for the first time in Europe. Tesla Full Self-Driving (Supervised) got its first-ever European approval, as the Netherlands gave the suite the green light to begin operation. Tesla owners in the Netherlands with a Full Self-Driving subscription will receive a software update “shortly,” the company said, activating the operation of the company’s semi-autonomous driving tech for the first time in Europe. The Dutch vehicle authority RDW granted the type approval after more than 18 months of rigorous testing on both closed tracks and public roads. FSD Supervised complies with UN R-171 standards and benefits from Article 39 exemptions under EU Regulation 2018/858. Importantly, it is not a fully autonomous vehicle. The RDW stressed that the driver remains fully responsible and must maintain attention at all times. “Safety is paramount for the RDW,” the authority stated. “Proper use of this driver assistance system contributes positively to road safety.” Sensors monitor driver alertness, issuing warnings if eyes leave the road or hands are unavailable to take control immediately. CEO Elon Musk also commented on the approval in a post on X, saying: “First (supervised) FSD approval in Europe! Congratulations to the Tesla team and thank you to the regulatory authorities in the Netherlands for all of the hard work required to make this happen.” First (supervised) FSD approval in Europe!

The Dutch vehicle authority RDW has granted Tesla a type approval for its “Full Self-Driving” Supervised system in the Netherlands, marking the first European country to officially approve the driver-assist technology. The approval, which falls under the UN R-171 regulation for Driver Control Assistance Systems, comes after more than 18 months of testing and is currently valid only in the Netherlands. Other EU member states can choose to recognize it nationally, but that process is not automatic. The approval Tesla Europe announced the news on X, stating that “FSD Supervised has been approved in the Netherlands & will begin rolling out in the country shortly.” The company described the system as “trained on billions of kilometers of real-world driving data” and claimed that “no other vehicle can do this.” The RDW confirmed the approval in its own statement, describing it as a “European type approval with provisional validity in the Netherlands.” The Dutch authority stressed that FSD Supervised is a driver assistance system — not an autonomous or self-driving system. The driver remains legally responsible and must be able to take over immediately at all times. The testing program involved over 1.6 million kilometers of driving on EU roads, more than 13,000 customer ride-alongs, and over 4,500 track test scenarios. Tesla submitted documentation covering more than 400 compliance requirements under UN R-171 and Article 39 exemptions. This approval was originally expected by March 20 but was delayed by about three weeks. Back in late March, the RDW actually pushed back on Tesla’s earlier announcements, saying it had not yet completed its review — a pattern that highlights the disconnect between Tesla’s marketing timeline and the regulator’s actual process.

Eight years ago, a self-driving Uber test vehicle struck and killed a pedestrian in Tempe, Arizona. The company suspended testing, eventually sold its self-driving unit to Aurora Innovation in December 2020, and spent the next several years insisting it was a marketplace, a neutral platform connecting riders with cars, not a fleet operator building robots. That argument ended on March 19. Uber Technologies announced a deal to invest up to $1.25 billion in electric vehicle maker Rivian Automotive, with plans to deploy as many as 50,000 fully autonomous robotaxis across 25 cities in the United States, Canada, and Europe by the end of 2031. The first 10,000 autonomous versions of Rivian's upcoming R2 SUV are planned for San Francisco and Miami in 2028. Uber, or its fleet partners, will have the option to purchase up to 40,000 more beginning in 2030. The entire fleet will run exclusively through the Uber app. Uber has now made its position clear: it intends to be the operator of autonomous vehicles at scale, not just the distributor of them. What the company has not addressed publicly is what happens to the people who currently drive for it when the cars no longer need them. For the roughly 850,000 people who drive for Uber in the United States, a workforce that is disproportionately Black, Latino, and immigrant, rideshare driving is not a side hustle. It is a primary source of income. In cities like Minneapolis and St. Paul, it is one of the few flexible, accessible pathways to economic stability available to workers who face barriers to traditional employment.
