NVIDIA announces Halos for Robotics, the industry's first full-stack safety system for physical AI, built on over 18,600 engineering years of autonomous vehicle safety development. Agility Robotics is the first to adopt the system for its humanoid robots in industrial environments.
NVIDIA Halos is a full-stack safety system for autonomous vehicles that unifies safety elements across vehicle architecture, AI models, chips, software, tools, and services to ensure safe development and deployment from cloud to car.
Waymo issued a recall for 3,871 robotaxis after incidents where vehicles entered freeway construction zones at highway speed; a software fix is under development and freeway operations are suspended until it is deployed.
This paper proposes a hierarchical Bayesian credibility framework for pricing autonomous vehicle liability insurance under operational design domain (ODD) shift, pooling sparse experience across cities and software versions using a learned ODD-similarity kernel. Demonstrated on Waymo crash data, the method outperforms no-pooling approaches and addresses the prospective ratemaking challenge for autonomous driving systems.
Elon Musk reacts to a post highlighting that Tesla's Robotaxi fleet crashes have been caused by human-driven vehicles rear-ending them.
Waymo introduces a new invite-only membership program called Waymo Premier, offering priority pickups, cash back, and early access to expansions for $29.99 per month.
Waymo announced Waymo Premier, a $29.99/month membership offering priority pickups, cash back, and other perks for frequent riders in select cities.
Waymo plans to offer driverless rides to six North American World Cup venues, aiming to showcase its robotaxi technology to millions of attendees despite recent operational challenges like flooding and highway suspensions.
NVIDIA introduces Halos OS, a safety-certified operating system for robotaxis, emphasizing built-in safety through certified foundations, standardized interfaces, and industry collaborations.
Decart unveils Oasis 3, an interactive world model that generates photorealistic driving environments in real time, available via API. Targeting autonomous vehicle simulation and other physical AI applications, the model leverages Decart's optimization stack for cost efficiency.
Waymo and Delft University of Technology published a paper in Nature Communications describing ReD, a cognitive model that simulates how human drivers make split-second decisions to avoid collisions, which can serve as a benchmark for autonomous driving systems.
Uber has opened an interest list for riders to be among the first to hail Wayve's autonomous vehicles in London, with the service launching later this year in a phased rollout.
Envoy has deployed self-driving wheelchairs at Miami's airport to assist passengers with mobility.
Waymo and B2U Storage Solutions have announced a strategic supply agreement to repurpose used batteries from Waymo's autonomous robotaxi fleet into stationary energy storage systems supporting power grids in California and Texas. The deal covers batteries swapped out during proactive maintenance as well as those from retired vehicles.
A study of Waymo's robotaxi operations over nearly 1,000 days found that about 44% of miles are driven empty, similar to ride-hailing services, challenging the promise that autonomous vehicles would reduce traffic.
NVIDIA announced new physical AI agent skills at CVPR to accelerate research in autonomous vehicles, robotics, and vision AI, including tools for neural reconstruction, simulation, and reinforcement learning.
A Waymo autonomous vehicle avoided a severe collision with a reckless wrong-way driver in Phoenix by taking evasive action, highlighting the safety capabilities of self-driving technology.
Uber's annual Lost and Found Index now includes robotaxis for the first time, revealing a range of strange items left behind by passengers, from dentures to a bowling ball, and detailing the return process managed by Uber's new Autonomous Solutions program.
NVIDIA presents OmniDreams, a generative world model built from the Cosmos diffusion model for real-time action-conditioned video generation, enabling closed-loop simulation for autonomous driving policy evaluation in complex unseen scenarios.
NVIDIA has open-sourced Cosmos 3, a frontier foundation model for physical AI that unifies reasoning, world generation, and action generation within a single Mixture-of-Transformers architecture, releasing model checkpoints, datasets, and training scripts for robotics, autonomous vehicles, and warehouse monitoring.
