Uber CTO revealed plans to expand AV Labs, equipping driver vehicles with sensors to collect road data for autonomous vehicle companies.

California is set to issue traffic citations directly to autonomous vehicles that break the law, closing a legal gap that gave driverless cars de facto immunity from traffic enforcement.

California just opened its roads to heavy-duty driverless vehicle programs, a major shift for autonomous freight. The catch is a high testing bar: manufacturers must move from safety-driver to driverless phases and log 500,000 miles for heavy-duty vehicles at each stage before commercial deployment.

NVIDIA said on March 12, 2026 that TensorRT Edge-LLM now supports MoE models, Nemotron 2 Nano, Qwen3-TTS/ASR, and Cosmos Reason 2 on Jetson and DRIVE platforms. The company is positioning the runtime as a low-latency edge reasoning layer for robotics and autonomous vehicles.

NVIDIA said on March 20, 2026 that its Cosmos world foundation models have advanced again with Transfer 2.5, Predict 2.5, and Reason 2. The linked NVIDIA Technical Blog frames the update around higher-quality synthetic data, stronger long-tail scenario generation, and richer reasoning for robots and autonomous vehicles.

NVIDIA on March 16, 2026 introduced an open reference architecture for generating, augmenting and evaluating training data for robotics, vision AI agents and autonomous vehicles. Microsoft Azure and Nebius are integrating the blueprint, and NVIDIA said the package is expected to land on GitHub in April.
