Elon Musk said that Tesla will use its telemetry data to make sure customers are “good” drivers before allowing them to access its Full Self-Driving Beta software. This is a tricky situation since those customers already paid for the software. Last week, Tesla started pushing its new Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta v10 software update to its early access fleet.

Self-driving EVs could increase energy consumption.

Toyota Chief Executive Akio Toyoda apologized for the incident in a YouTube video.

Toyota has suspended use of all of its self-driving e-Palette transportation pods at the Tokyo Paralympic Games village. That announcement coming on Friday, a day after one of the vehicles collided with a visually impaired athlete.

Just months after a CEO shakeup, Waymo is officially halting sales of its custom sensors to third parties. Waymo added that it's now focusing on deploying its Waymo Driver tech.

Waymo, part of Google's Alphabet Inc., has long been regarded as the leader in developing autonomous vehicles. But it is having trouble moving forward.

The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has opened a probe into Tesla’s Autopilot software, citing the cars’ repeated collisions with parked emergency vehicles. The NHTSA investigation will cover Tesla Models Y, X, S, and 3 vehicles released from 2014 through 2021. The federal agency says since 2018 it has logged 11 incidents (which include 17 injuries and one fatality) in which Tesla vehicles using the company’s Autopilot features, like Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, have crashed into stationary emergency vehicles.

Of course, that doesn't mean Tesla's Autopilot safeguards are good; Car and Driver's tests show none of them are

The eccentric billionaire has been making technology history for decades. But this next milestone of human invention may prove to be his biggest achievement yet.

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.
