It’s clear one company entered into 2026 with a big booster in its backpack and pep in its step. Waymo started the year ready to rock and roll, from rapid expansion into new markets, to a new funding round to speed that up further, to a new stage of autonomous … [continued]
PASAY CITY, PHILIPPINES — At the 13th Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit (PEVS) last October, United Asia Automotive Group Inc. (UAAGI) made a calculated bet: that Filipino buyers are ready for electric vehicles, but only if they have options that match their specific needs and budgets. While the Electric Vehicle Association … [continued]
Tesla has registered a new high-resolution radar unit with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and its Office of Engineering and Technology Authorization and Evaluation Divisions, Drive Tesla Canada has reported. Although the registration will allow Tesla to sell vehicles that have the units installed in the U.S., the documents … [continued]
In Ghostbusters, Egon gives the other ghost hunters an important warning for the operation of their proton packs: don’t cross the streams. Why? Because it would be bad. Even “all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light” bad. … [continued]
Tesla’s Full Self Driving (FSD) Beta V9.0 is soon going live. Being a .0 update, that means it’s a major one. This update will switch to pure vision, and Elon Musk just shared on Twitter that it will indeed come with “massive” improvements. This update from Elon Musk came in … [continued]
In its latest blog post, Waymo says it has cut the cost of its autonomous driving sensors by half while doubling how far they can see under all conditions.
As you read this, Tesla’s vehicles are out there on the world’s roads, learning, learning. Like precocious children, they’re steadily building a mental image of the world around them, a body of knowledge that forms the heart of Tesla’s Autopilot suite of features.
Isn’t this funny: Here I am, happy about finally placing an order on a Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus, including the full self-driving package, and at the same time as I choose to flicker through a bunch of old Motor magazines from 1987 to find some mentions of my old 1987 Volvo 240 for a fun comparison, I stumble upon the highlight below.
EVA is a new electric air mobility startup we met at LA Automobility 2018. It has a promising electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The eVTOL is small, 100% autonomous, and sports an ingenious configuration. It uses wings that retract when taking off and landing. EVA says it is months away from certifications and from flying the machine.
In this article, I’m going to try to take a very technical and complicated subject — namely, the technical details of Tesla’s and others autonomous driving systems — and make it understandable for non-engineers.
