Driverless taxis are a bit like buses. You wait ages for one, and then a fleet arrives all at once. The US firms Waymo and Uber have both said their vehicles will be on the streets of London in 2026.... Read more
"Range anxiety" remains one of the major issues of electric vehicles (EVs). Most of the existing range prediction technologies rely on simulated conditions or limited datasets, making it difficult to accurately capture variations caused by regional climate, road conditions, and vehicle types....

In the United States, automobile crashes are responsible for about 40,000 deaths and 2 million injuries a year, resulting in an estimated $340 billion in economic costs. In a new study, researchers examined the effectiveness of automated speed cameras, which detect and fine speeding motorists, over a 10-year period.... Read more
NASA is helping shape the future of urban air travel with a new simulation that will manage how electric air taxis and drones can successfully operate within busy areas.... Read more
Electric vehicles (EVs) are no more dangerous to pedestrians than traditional petrol or diesel cars, according to a new study.... Read more
A highly anticipated review of the EU's 2035 ban on new petrol and diesel car sales has been pushed back to next week, the European Commission said Monday.... Read more
In a striking leap toward safer self-driving cars, researchers at Texas A&M University College of Engineering and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have unveiled a new artificial intelligence (AI) system called OmniPredict.... Read more
Europe's embattled auto industry and its backers are ramping up pressure on the EU to relax its planned 2035 ban on new petrol and diesel car sales—hoping for a decision by year end.... Read more
The nation's freight railroads are going to be able to try relying more on technology and inspect their tracks in person less often after the federal government approved their waiver request on Friday.... Read more
To increase driving range, electric vehicle (EV) batteries rely on high-nickel cathodes. However, this high nickel content has a critical drawback: battery performance degrades rapidly during charging and discharging. The primary cause has now been identified as internal structural distortion, which generates "oxygen holes" that shorten the battery's lifespan—similar to... Read more
Railway infrastructure could be made safer and more reliable using AI, artificial intelligence, according to research published in the International Journal of Information and Communication Technology. The research outlines a new automated, real-time fault detection system based on deep learning that can identify problems with track, bridges, tunnels, and signaling... Read more
As disruptions to GPS services increase globally, radio signals from low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites could become reliable navigation alternatives, a new study suggests.... Read more
For the first time in the U.S., a roadway has wirelessly charged an electric heavy-duty truck driving at highway speeds, demonstrating key technology that could help lower the costs of building electrified highways for all electric vehicles to use.... Read more
