Waymo says its cars cause injuries six times less often than human drivers.

I learned a lot by reading dozens of Waymo and Cruise crash reports.

In a pivotal moment for the autonomous transportation industry, California chose to expand one of the biggest test cases for the technology.

Is it harder to make self-driving trucks than robotaxis?

Tesla's autonomous vehicle tech has been perennially stuck at Level 2 self-driving, as BMW and other rivals try to leapfrog to Level 3.

Tesla deaths from fires and Autopilot make up 24% of the fatalities in crashes. Learn about the death rates per million miles and vs other cars.

Volkswagen will begin testing its autonomous vehicles on the streets of Austin, Texas this month, and will expand around the city over the next three years.

A dog has died after being hit by a self-driving car last month in San Francisco, according to California's Department of Motor Vehicles.

Deadly accident said to be unavoidable

Seven years ago, hype about self-driving cars was off the charts. It wasn’t just Tesla CEO Elon Musk—who has been making outlandish predictions about self-driving technology since 2015. In 2016, Ford set a goal to start selling cars without steering wheels by 2021. The same year, Lyft predicted that a majority of rides on its network would be autonomous by 2021.

General Motors is studying the possibility of an artificial intelligence voice assistant in future vehicles, according to the company. GM Chair and CEO Mary Barra, who was asked for details Tuesday by Fox Business channel anchor Liz Claman, referenced the company’s Ultifi “end-to-end” vehicle software platform.

As companies race to build self-driving cars, there’s always a question: How safe is safe enough? After all, humans drivers still crash every day — surely a system that crashes less, even if it’s not perfect, is better than your average FaceTiming motorist. Just how good does an autonomous car have to be, in order to beat us fleshy human drivers at the safety game?

San Francisco city officials have sent letters to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) asking them to slow or halt robotaxi expansion..

Mercedes-Benz will introduce its "Drive Pilot" system to the US market in Nevada and plans to expand to California.

In a class-action lawsuit, customers say they were duped by Tesla's $15,000 Full Self-Driving feature. Lawyers for the company say failure doesn't equal fraud.

Apple's self-driving car project is reportedly being scaled back as engineers believe the goal isn't possible with current technology.

Apple isn't done scaling back its plans for an electric car, apparently. Bloomberg sources say the EV, codenamed Project Titan, is no longer a fully self-driving machine. It will reportedly have a conventional wheel and pedals, and will 'only' drive itself on highways. The company has also pushed the launch back by a year to 2026, the tipsters claim.

Ford is essentially pulling the plug on an effort to develop its first full self-driving car, and it's going to cost the automaker $2.7 billion to walk away.

Legacy automakers don’t believe it’s time for driverless vehicles yet

In one of the more unusual experiments we’ve seen recently, researchers attached a large pair of cartoonish googly eyes to the front of a small, self-driving vehicle – and it turns out that this kind of anthropomorphic tweak could actually improve pedestrian safety.
