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....

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
