All of these self driving services are promising customers that they don't have to focus on driving. That's the entire premise of the service!

To then throw the customer under the bus when the inevitable occurs feels like fraud.

If people don't want to drive so much, maybe invest more in public transit?

Drivers in fatal Ford BlueCruise crashes were likely distracted before impact | TechCrunch

The National Transportation Safety Board released documents ahead of a March 31 hearing that help show how and why two drivers crashed into stationary vehicles in 2024, leading to three deaths.

Self-driving car startup Nuro has started testing its technology in Tokyo, the U.S. company’s first location abroad after partnering with Uber Technologies and Lucid Group. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/03/12/companies/nuro-self-driving-tokyo/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #nuro #startups #selfdriving #cars #waymo #toyota #nvidia

While Tokyo is becoming a test bed for the world’s leading robotaxi ventures, Japan is lagging when it comes to regulatory framework for autonomous vehicles.

Tesla FSD 소프트웨어 v13.2.9에서의 엣지 케이스가 관찰되었으며, 나무에 걸린 등불(랜턴)을 신호등으로 잘못 인식하는 문제를 제시합니다. 현시점에서는 실제 주행 영향 여부가 불확실하다고 언급되어 자율주행 시스템의 인식·안전성 이슈를 환기합니다.

FSD (v13.2.9) edge case spotted: Tesla mistaking lanterns hanging on trees for traffic lights! 🏮 It may or may not impact actual driving.

Waymo Says It Has Nothing to Say After Its Self-Driving Taxi Blocked an Ambulance Responding to a Mass Shooting

A Waymo robotaxi blocked an ambulance from responding to the scene of a mass shooting in Austin, Texas, on Sunday, EMS and Waymo officials confirmed.

“A driverless vehicle was stopped in the area while our crews were responding to this morning’s shooting, and it did briefly interfere with access for one ambulance,” Austin-Travis County EMS spokesperson Christa Stedman told Axios. “The officer in the video followed established protocol to address the situation and was able to quickly move the vehicle so ATCEMS units could proceed.”

The Google-owned Waymo told outlets that it would not be providing a statement.

새 논문 'Law-Compliance Potential Fields'가 공개되었습니다. 이 방법은 속도 제한·우선 통행 등 교통규칙을 '반발력장'으로 모델링해 자율주행차가 법규를 피해가거나 위반하지 않도록 유도합니다. 규칙을 운동계획에 통합해 교통법규 준수와 안전성을 높이는 기술적 해결책을 제안한 연구입니다. (원문: ScienceDirect, 언급: techAU)

New paper drops a clever fix for self-driving cars that keep breaking traffic laws: 'Law-Compliance Potential Fields' – turns rules into repelling force fields (speed limits, right-of-way, etc.) so AVs stay legal and safe @techAU https://t.co/5Kf6nwpVua

새 논문 'Law-Compliance Potential Fields'는 자율주행차가 교통법규(속도제한, 우선권 등)를 준수하도록 규칙을 반발력장(repelling force fields)으로 변환하는 기법을 제안합니다. 이를 통해 AV가 법을 지키며 안전하게 주행할 수 있게 하는 연구 결과입니다(링크: ScienceDirect, 공유: techAU).

“해결책은 상대적이지 보편적이지 않다”는 취지의 짧은 코멘트로, Tesla의 자율주행·기술이 인도 도로 환경에서는 문제를 겪었다는 관찰을 담고 있습니다. 자율주행 솔루션의 지역·환경별 한계와 적용성 문제를 암시하는 내용입니다.

As Japan struggles with a nationwide shortage of drivers, automakers, telecommunications companies and startups are ramping up efforts to introduce autonomous driving on local public bus routes. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/03/02/companies/japan-firms-self-driving/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #selfdriving #ai #carmakers #cars #electricvehicles #toyota #nttdocomo
