Zoox has launched the next iteration of its robotaxi as it prepares to move into large-scale production.

The company designed its robotaxi from scratch rather than adapting an existing vehicle for driverless use, meaning it could “design around riders, not drivers”, the company said. Feedback from half a million riders, alongside lessons from testing and early deployments, has informed ongoing refinements to the vehicle and shaped the development of this next generation.

Inside: comfort and calm 

The carriage-style cabin remains the same, but has been updated with changes to comfort, usability and interior finish.

WeRide has announced the joint development of Robotaxis specifically designed for right-hand-drive markets, through a strategic partnership with Geely Farizon New Energy Commercial Vehicle Group (Geely Farizon) and Kwoon Chung Bus Holdings, a leading public transportation operator in Hong Kong.

The purpose-built, mass-produced right-hand-drive Robotaxi will be designed based on the existing production-ready GXR platform. Commercial right-hand-drive Robotaxi services will be launched in Hong Kong, bringing autonomous mobility solutions to right-hand-drive markets worldwide – with contracts already secured in Singapore, Japan and the UK.

“We are proud to partner with Geely Farizon and Kwoon Chung Bus Holdings Limited on this collaboration.

WeRide and Uber Technologies have announced plans to launch commercial robotaxi services in the Greater Zurich region, marking their second joint deployment in Europe within weeks of announcing Madrid.

Operations are expected to begin later this year in collaboration with Switzerland’s Federal Roads Office (FEDRO). Rides will be available via the Uber app during launch, subject to regulatory approval.

Switzerland combines one of Europe’s most advanced regulatory environments for autonomous driving with a high-value ride hailing market. The WeRide-Uber fleet will scale progressively and in coordination with the authorities as performance milestones are met, including the transition to fully driverless commercial services in core urban areas.

Stellantis, Wayve and Uber have entered a partnership to jointly explore the development and deployment of Level 4 driverless robotaxis at a global scale. The collaboration brings together Stellantis’ L4-ready platforms, Wayve’s AI driving technology and Uber’s global marketplace to power a new generation of fully autonomous vehicles.

The partnership builds on the companies’ existing strategic relationships, including Stellantis and Wayve’s recent L2++ agreement, and Wayve and Uber’s partnership to deploy autonomous rides in London, Tokyo and 10 other cities around the world starting this year.

“This collaboration brings us closer to delivering a smarter, safer and more efficient mobility for our customers,” said Ned Curic, chief engineering and technology officer at Stellantis.

Mobileye has announced plans to expand its robotaxi activities beyond supplying self-driving technology and into full ownership of an autonomous ride-hailing business. The initiative, set to launch in a US city in 2027, will combine Mobileye’s autonomous driving capabilities with fleet operations, rider services and mobility management into a single vertically integrated offering. This adds to Mobileye’s existing business model as a supplier of autonomous-driving technology to auto makers and mobility providers.

Mobileye Drive serves as a standalone self-driving system that is being integrated into partner programs. Under the planned initiative, Mobileye will extend its role across the entire robotaxi value chain, combining Mobileye Drive with its Moovit subsidiary’s mobility platform and consumer-facing applications, multimodal trip planning, AV mission control, fleet-management technologies and integration with teleoperation infrastructure.

Element Fleet Management has announced a strategic multi-year partnership with Waymo to support the large-scale deployment and operation of autonomous vehicle fleets.

This partnership will provide end-to-end fleet management and operational services to support Waymo’s autonomous mobility operation, beginning with an initial deployment in San Diego, California, and expanding to additional markets over time.

Autonomous mobility is rapidly advancing, and scaling these fleets requires more than vehicles on the road – it requires an integrated operational and digital orchestration layer, capable of managing fleet readiness, charging infrastructure, energy optimization, maintenance, compliance and real-time operational performance across markets.

AmiGo, the on-demand autonomous mobility service from Baidu’s Apollo Go and Swiss Post‘s PostBus, has announced that it has received a special permit from Switzerland’s Federal Roads Office (FEDRO) for Level 4 operations in eastern Switzerland. The vehicles began conducting open-road testing on June 1, 2026.

The FEDRO special permit confirms that AmiGo’s vehicles and autonomous driving system meet Switzerland’s defined safety and quality requirements, with AmiGo now carrying out autonomous driving trials with a safety operator in an approximately 80km² zone that spans the cantons of St Gallen, Appenzell Ausserrhoden and Appenzell Innerrhoden.

“Automated driving evolves through real-world operating experience.

Bolt, Pony.ai and Stellantis have launched an autonomous mobility testing program in Luxembourg that will focus on validating the safety, performance and regulatory readiness of Pony.ai’s seventh-generation (Gen-7) autonomous vehicles in the country’s traffic environment. Stellantis will contribute its vehicle engineering and manufacturing expertise, with a midsize van based on its L4-Ready Platform.

The partners are preparing the pilot that is designed to test the technologies and operational processes required to support safe autonomous mobility in cities, from vehicle deployment and ride-hailing platform integration to fleet operations and regulatory coordination.

The pilot program builds on previously announced intended collaborations between Stellantis, Pony.ai and Bolt to advance the development and deployment of autonomous mobility solutions in Europe.

Steer Tech has announced a technology supply agreement with Pliyt, the privacy-first autonomous ridesharing company. Under the agreement, Steer Tech will serve as the autonomous and sensor technology backbone of Pliyt’s ridesharing platform.

Steer Tech’s AI-driven platform spans the full autonomy stack, delivering perception, navigation, real-time decision-making and multi-sensor integration capabilities. Proven across demanding environments including military bases, airports, warehouses and last-mile logistics operations, the same technology will now underpin the vehicle intelligence and autonomous capabilities of Pliyt’s ridesharing platform, bringing a level of reliability and sophistication rarely seen in early-stage autonomous mobility programs.

“Our technology has earned its stripes across a wide range of environments: military sites, airport operations, distribution centers, last-mile operations and that breadth is exactly what makes it the right foundation for what Pliyt is building,” said Anuja Sonalker, founder and CEO of Steer Tech.

A new report on public attitudes in Europe about the use of artificial intelligence in vehicles has revealed that drivers have a high familiarity with AI and frequently use AI-enabled ADAS features but that they are reluctant to give full control of the vehicle to autonomous systems – and that drivers in the UK are the msot skeptical of full autonomy.

Chinese auto maker Xpeng commissioned independent research agency Improof Research to conduct a quantitative study of public attitudes toward artificial intelligence and physical AI across six European countries, alongside a reference sample from major Chinese cities. The survey fieldwork was carried out between May 1 and 14, 2026.
