It’s officially the Ternus era at Apple. Tim Cook stepped down as CEO this week, handing the company to former hardware chief John Ternus, whose first memo promised a “huge launch next week” — timing that puts Apple’s next iPhone event on his desk before he’s even settled in. Cook isn’t going far, though: he’s staying on as Executive Chairman, focused on the kind of policy […]

The US government is investigating whether the Cybercab, which lacks a steering wheel and pedals, meets vehicle safety standards.

Elon Musk's gilded robot car barely made it on public roads before federal regulators launched an investigation into the vehicle's lack of traditional features - many of which are required by law.

The investigation was launched just a few hours after Tesla put the first production Cybercabs on the road in Austin.

Believe it or not, the Tesla Cybercab is coming. Nearly two years after Elon Musk first unveiled the gold-tinted, gull-wing door sporting, steering wheel-free two-seaters as the future of Tesla's autonomy efforts, the company is finally putting them into operation as part of its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas. Public rides are here, and as […]

Waymo argued that fully autonomous vehicles aren't possible without using a mix of sensors and warned that pure end-to-end AI systems aren't safe enough.

Technical progress has encouraged a new batch of companies to jump in on the promise of profits from humanoid robots. And they're all Chinese automakers.

As Tesla gears up for the official launch of its steering wheel and pedal-less Cybercabs, Waymo is issuing a stark warning about Elon Musk's approach autonomous driving. Srikanth Thirumalai, Waymo's VP of Onboard Software, doesn't specifically call out Musk or Tesla in a blog post, published Wednesday, entitled "10 AI Lessons from Driving 200+ Million […]

Robotaxis are expanding. So is the fight over the rules governing them. In New York, Gov.

Tesla and eight other automakers will install warning labels that help occupants identify the often hard-to-find manual door releases.

Together, these permits would allow up to 8,000 robotaxis to be deployed over the next 12 months.

Seven months after Elon Musk announced that Tesla Robotaxis in Austin were operating without human safety monitors onboard, the city's service appears to have finally gone fully driverless. Over the past two weeks, all 170 Tesla Robotaxi rides in Austin monitored by the crowdsourced Robotaxi Tracker were unsupervised, the site's creator, Ethan McKanna, told The […]
