Autonomous car manufacturers have long claimed that self-driving vehicles would reduce traffic accidents. Thus far, the stats are largely in their favor. According to a report by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), Google's Waymo robotaxis were involved in roughly 65 percent fewer car crashes than human drivers last year. Waymo's own internal statistics, meanwhile, claim that the autonomous vehicles (AVs) reduce accidents with serious injuries by 94 percent. Some critics are understandably dubious, however, noting that more testing needs to be done before anyone can meaningfully certify these safety gains.

He's an assistant professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, and has spent more than a decade researching AI-driven interactions between humans and robots. But he found himself typing " public transport " into the search bar of a very specific website's "amateur section." "People are hard to predict," Bazilinskyy says. It's why he researches what he does. So his prurient pursuit had a point.

Lucid is making a push into the European robotaxi market and it's teaming up with Bolt to do so. Bolt plans to deploy at least 25,000 autonomous vehicles based on Lucid's midsize platform across the continent. The ridesharing company plans to have 100,000 AVs on its platform by 2035, but it hasn't revealed when these particular robotaxis are likely to go into service. Bolt, which plans to own and operate the Lucid fleet, will work with the automaker to develop the vehicle. The robotaxi will likely use NVIDIA's Hyperion autonomous vehicle architecture and it's being designed for Level 4 automation (in other words, the companies plan for it to run autonomously within defined boundaries).

Lie down in a car, and you're more likely to get seriously hurt in a crash. But a driverless future is forcing governments to revisit long-standing safety issues. In a video posted on X, a Tesla enthusiast hops into what was once the driver's seat of a new matte gold Cybercab . "Once" because the vehicle, which officially hit the streets earlier this month as part of Tesla's Robotaxi ride-hail service, doesn't have a steering wheel or brake pedals . For the person in the front seat, this opens up new possibilities.

Report urges ministers to act early to mitigate the effects of robotaxis on England's 417,000 taxi and private hire drivers. Report urges ministers to act early to mitigate the effects of robotaxis on England's 417,000 taxi and private hire drivers. Taxes on self-driving cars should be introduced now in the UK to offset the rise in congestion and threats to jobs they pose, a thinktank has urged. The first robotaxis on London's streets only started this month, but government projections are that up to 40% of cars sold could have self-driving capability by the middle of the next decade. The report says widespread autonomous vehicle (AV) adoption would put hundreds of thousands of private hire jobs at risk, while individual ownership is likely to increase car usage at the expense of public transport, and increase congestion.
