Cruise’s Robotaxi Fleet in Pictures and Videos


With the company receiving approval for driverless driving and commercial deployment of Cruise’s fleet of robot taxis, more and more images and videos are now surfacing showing the empty cars in San Francisco. Some that give an idea of the scale of the operation (more than 100 vehicles are part of the fleet), and some that show what conditions need to be met for the vehicles to run safely. And this includes calibrating the sensors, as we see in the picture from the garage. The images come from Twitter user @21five_public.

Zoox Gives A Glimpse Into Its Test Scenarios For Autonomous Driving


Zoox, acquired by Amazon a year ago for a rumored sum of about $1 billion, released a nearly seven-minute video showing tests on a test track. In addition to introducing a number of Zoox employees, we see Zoox testing its own developed vehicle. In the process, we see scenarios where a car door is suddenly opened on parked cars and the vehicle has to swerve, or where it is cut by a test vehicle and has to react safely accordingly.
