Tesla has unveiled its new supercomputer, which is already the fifth most powerful in the world, and it’s going to be the predecessor of Tesla’s upcoming new Dojo supercomputer. It is being used to train the neural nets powering Tesla’s Autopilot and upcoming self-driving AI.

Last month, self-driving technology company TuSimple shipped a truckload of watermelons across the state of Texas ten hours faster than normal. They did this by using their automated driving system for over 900 miles of the journey. The test drive was considered a success, and marked the beginning of a partnership between TuSimple and produce distributor Guimarra. This is one of the first such partnerships announced, but TuSimple may soon have some competition from another big player in the driverless vehicles game: Alphabet Inc. subsidiary Waymo.

Experts aren’t sure when, if ever, we’ll have truly autonomous vehicles that can drive anywhere without help. First, AI will need to get a lot smarter.

The road to fully autonomous trucks is a long and winding one, but it's not an impossible one, and it seems to be in closer reach than fully self-driving cars. Proof of that has come in the form of a self-driving long-haul truck that transported a load of watermelons from Arizona to Oklahoma last month, according to SingularityHub.

Germany has adopted legislation that will allow driverless vehicles on public roads by 2022, laying out a path for companies to deploy robotaxis and delivery services in the country at scale. While autonomous testing is currently permitted in Germany, this would allow operations of driverless vehicles without a human safety operator behind the wheel.

TuSimple tested its trucks by hauling fresh watermelons along a 951-mile route from Nogales, Arizona, to Oklahoma City.

Param Sharma says he has "gone about 40,000 miles without being in the driver's seat" because it is safer.

The fatal crash May 5 was the latest of four U.S. deaths involving the electric car company's Autopilot partially-automated driving system.

Tesla’s advanced driver assistance system known as Autopilot could not have been engaged on the stretch of road where a Model S crashed last month in Texas, killing the two occupants, according to a preliminary report released Monday by the National Transportation Safety Board.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been overstating the capabilities of the company’s advanced driver assist system, the company’s director of Autopilot software told the California Department of Motor Vehicles. The comments came from a memo released by legal transparency group PlainSite, which obtained the documents from a public records request.

Toyota is hitting the gas to achieve its self-driving goals by buying Lyft's autonomous vehicle business for over half a billion dollars. The two players announced the $550 million acquisition on Tuesday, saying that it would allow them to create a "dream team" of about 1,200 researchers and engineers around the world.

The era launched by Henry Ford more than a century ago is coming to an end, and the big question is whether the U.S. can keep up with China in the new race. Welcome to the world of AutoTech.

The Tesla vehicle crashed into a tree and burst into flames, according to the reports.

'Tis the season. The CES season, that is. CES 2021 is jam-packed with exciting new technology. This week's completely digital event saw presentations from leading tech industry experts, thought leaders, influencers, and entrepreneurs. Things were obviously different this year, as the world continues to battle the current pandemic. Rather than have thousands of people flock to Las Vegas for in-person presentations and tech booths, this year was dominated by virtual press conferences.

The first autonomous cars without a safety driver at the wheel were successfully tested in Las Vegas this month, automotive technology start-up Motional announced Monday. 

In what Canadian legal experts are calling an unprecedented case, a B.C. man has been charged with dangerous driving in Alberta after he was allegedly caught sleeping in a self-driving Tesla as it sped south on Highway 2 between Edmonton and Calgary this past summer.

Zoox, Amazon’s self-driving vehicle startup, revealed a prototype of its robotaxi Monday that could one day spend 16 hours a day offering rides in cities.

While digging through the code of their Tesla’s Full Self-Driving feature, a noted Tesla hacker-owner who goes by the handle “green” found an augmented reality view of everything the vehicle is capable of seeing in vivid detail, Teslarati reports. The Elon Musk-led company began rolling out its Full Self-Driving beta in October, allowing a select group of Tesla owners to test the feature.

Walmart is casting about for a good fit for its self-driving aspirations.
