For autonomous vehicle companies, scaling, not safety, is the top priority because it makes—or breaks—their long-term business survival.

A new report compares Waymo's safety record to professional yellow taxi, Lyft and Uber drivers in New York City, adding fresh insights to the AV safety discourse.

What I picked up at my first "Automated Transportation Symposium," where close to 700 AV professionals and stakeholders of the AV ecosystem milled around.

There are hints, rumors and speculations about how good China's self-driving robotaxis are. But how much is true? What do we know?

Lessons to learn from a Dallas crash involving a SUV and a Waymo aren't about how to assign blames but how to hold human driver and AV's computer driver equally "accountable" when they break a law.

As NXP's CEO Rafael Sotomayor succinctly put it last month during NXP's Q2 financial call, “Physical AI is a system problem, not just a compute problem.” If so, what's the company's robotic plan?

Getting away from the United States made me realize how surreal the whole sequence of events—Tesla's Cybercab launch and NHTSA's belated investigation—is.

Nvidia's CEO asked during the recent podcast with Ezra Klein: “Would any multi-hundred-billion-dollar company, a $1 billion company or a $100 million company, that ships products that are unsafe?”

Hands-free driving is coming across highway and urban environments. How indispensable would that make E2E machine learning? Are automotive chip vendors ready for that transition?
