As ADAS validation becomes more complex and resource intensive, Humanetics has launched UFOnext, a next-generation advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) testing platform designed to meet the growing demands of testing protocols while maximizing efficiency on the proving ground. According to the company, the platform focuses on enabling customers to test faster, more reliably and with less operational friction.

UFOnext offers high acceleration capability, enabling it to reach the required test speeds quickly. This reduces the track length needed to achieve target velocities, enabling customers to run high-speed NCAP scenarios on shorter proving grounds.

Combined with top speeds exceeding 140km/h, the solution allows test teams to execute demanding ADAS scenarios that are essential for compliance with NCAP 2026 protocols.

The North East Automotive Alliance (NEAA), together with the Port of Tyne, Oxa and industry and academic partners, has completed the Port-Connected and Automated Logistics (P-CAL) project, supporting the region’s development in connected and automated mobility.

Delivered through the UK government’s CAM Pathfinder program, P‑CAL was designed to push the boundaries of autonomous logistics. Building on the North East’s earlier 5G CAL and V‑CAL initiatives, the project moved autonomous technology from proof‑of‑concept trials into a real‑world operational setting.

Paul Butler, CEO of the NEAA, said, “P‑CAL represents a defining moment in the North East’s journey from pilot projects to real‑world autonomous operations.

Avride has announced that its fleet of autonomous robotaxis now numbers 200 vehicles.

Built on the Hyundai Ioniq 5 platform, Avride’s vehicles are actively testing on the streets of Austin and Dallas in Texas.

The company said it has added “dozens of new vehicles to the fleet, enabled by a streamlined process for pre-assembling key electronic components.”

It added, “More vehicles on the road mean more miles driven, more real-world scenarios and more happy passengers. Each ride helps us continuously improve both the technology and the service – making autonomy safer, more reliable and more accessible for all.”

In the AI-native era, large language models (LLMs) are reshaping in-vehicle interaction. Traditional single-command systems are giving way to more advanced approaches that enable contextual understanding, prediction and cross-scenario coordination. Natural voice interaction with continuous conversation flow and long-term memory is emerging as a key development to improve the in-car user experience.

Neusoft Corporation and AISpeech have signed a memorandum of cooperation (MoC) to jointly develop an AI-powered mobility companion featuring natural conversation and proactive intelligence for the global market, by integrating AISpeech’s cutting-edge AI voice interaction technologies into Neusoft’s recently launched OneCoreGo Global In-Vehicle Intelligent Mobility Solution 7.0.

As of this week (April 27, 2026), customers of General Motors have collectively driven about one billion miles using the Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance system. This total distance is roughly equivalent to nearly 2,100 round trips between Earth and the Moon.

Nearly 750,000 Super Cruise-enabled vehicles across 23 models in North America have contributed to this achievement, generating large-scale, real-world learning that’s helping GM accelerate its autonomous roadmap.

“This one billion miles driven hands-free by our customers is just the start,” said Rashed Haq, VP of vehicle autonomy. “Super Cruise is the cornerstone of GM’s autonomous roadmap, from today’s hands-free features to eyes-off, starting with the Escalade IQ in 2028.

Zoox has started deploying its purpose-built robotaxi on public roads in Austin, Texas, marking the latest phase in the company’s expansion of autonomous ride hailing services.

The rollout follows a testing program that began in mid-2024, when a retrofitted Zoox fleet was used to map the city and train its AI systems. These vehicles operated with safety drivers while collecting data, which was then transferred to the company’s purpose-built robotaxi platform.

In the initial phase, the robotaxi will operate in selected areas of Austin, including West and East Sixth, downtown, East Cesar Chavez, Riverside and the Rainey Street district.
