Waymo, the subsidiary of Google parent Alphabet and a U.S. robotaxi leader, has recalled nearly 4,000 of its driverless cars after several incidents in which its robotaxis entered closed-off highway construction zones.

As summer road trips begin and rainy weather arrives, many drivers may encounter one of the most dangerous situations on the road: hydroplaning. This happens when a layer of water builds up between a vehicle’s tires and the road surface, causing the tires to lose grip. In severe cases, drivers can temporarily lose steering and […]

Australian airline Qantas announced it will launch the world's first nonstop flights between London and Sydney in October 2027.

Could electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft be the harbingers of an exciting new era of fossil-free aviation, or impractical, expensive play toys? I got a glimpse of personal air mobility’s future with Velo X’s X1 at the 2026 Sun n’ Fun airshow.

Are eVTOL aircraft harbingers of a new era of fossil-free aviation, or impractical, expensive play toys? Lee Goldberg went looking for answers at the recent 2026 Sun n’ Fun airshow.

As summer approaches, you might be planning a road trip. A recent study from the University of Georgia explores how you can stay safe while driving in the rain. Vehicles can hydroplane when water gathers on a road, causing tires to lose their grip.

Self-driving cars and advanced robots rely on cameras, sensors, and artificial intelligence to understand the world around them. However, these systems often struggle when lighting conditions change quickly or when bright and dark areas appear at the same time. A new study may offer a solution. Researchers have developed an artificial vision system inspired by […]

China's passenger car exports jumped 73% year-on-year in May to around 809,000 vehicles, an industry group reported Wednesday, as higher gasoline and diesel prices due to the war in Iran raised interest in electric vehicles.

As cities continue to expand, railways are expected to become an important component of urban mobility systems. Compared with automobiles and air transport, railways are highly energy efficient and produce relatively low environmental impacts and therefore form an important component of sustainable transportation systems. Thus, researchers have been exploring advanced train control technologies for further improvement of operational efficiency, passenger comfort and punctuality while reducing energy consumption.

MISRA C compliance succeeds when teams understand its safety purpose, apply it pragmatically, and build it into daily embedded-software development.
