For robotaxis and other autonomous vehicles (AVs), the most challenging scenarios are often rare, complex ‘long-tail’ events that are difficult to anticipate, reproduce and train for.

Nvidia’s Alpamayo 2 Super targets the complex long-tail scenarios that remain challenging for autonomous vehicles. The model enables AVs to reason about situations, assess cause and effect, select actions and generate safe driving paths in real time. Designed to support inspectable and verifiable decision-making, Alpamayo 2 Super is now available for commercial use as part of Nvidia’s open Alpamayo family of autonomous driving foundation models.

Built on Nvidia Cosmos 3 Super Reasoner and post‑trained with reinforcement learning, the model advances the AV ecosystem on two fronts: open commercial licensing and leading multitask capabilities for autonomous driving.

Dubai Future Foundation (DFF) and autonomous vehicle technology company Oxa have launched SHIFFT, a joint venture to establish Dubai as a hub for autonomous logistics.

SHIFFT will incorporate self-driving technology into an integrated autonomous logistics and worksite intelligence product, enabling end-to-end operational deployment. The venture will focus on deploying autonomous vehicles in ports and airports, with a first scalable commercial deployment planned for Dubai before the end of 2027.

The autonomous systems will use the Oxa Driver self-driving software, paired with the company’s cloud-based fleet management platform, Oxa Hub, along with Oxa’s autonomy hardware systems, which are designed to integrate with existing vehicle fleets.

Applied Intuition has launched Dana – an agentic platform for building, testing, deploying and operating physical AI systems. The platform combines agentic AI with Applied Intuition’s software development, testing and engineering tools to provide a unified environment for developing intelligent machines across a range of industries.

“We believe physical AI will become one of the defining technologies of this century,” said Qasar Younis, co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition. “Our ambition is to help bring intelligence to a billion machines, and Dana is the platform we built to make that possible.”

Unlike general-purpose AI tools designed primarily for digital workflows, Dana is built for the complexities of machines operating in the physical world.

AV programs generate video data in tens to hundreds of petabytes, driving up storage and networking costs and slowing development.

Beamr Imaging and Intempora, a dSPACE company, have announced that Beamr’s ML-safe video data technology is now available on the RTMaps AI Store, ready to use across the AV stack. The collaboration lets AV teams reduce their data volumes while preserving ML accuracy, without changing the stack they already rely on.

Real-Time Multisensor Applications (RTMaps) is a modular development and execution middleware, designed to acquire, synchronize, process, record and replay heterogeneous data streams in real time.

Bosch and Cariad have completed the joint development of assisted and automated driving functions within the Automated Driving Alliance. The project partners have created a software stack with artificial intelligence that can be integrated into various vehicle classes, from small cars to premium models, and into both electric and combustion engine platforms. The VW ID EVERY1 solution is available to both project partners for use in series production projects and for their respective further development, and will go into production in 2027.

The project partners’ ADAS functions include Level 2 capabilities offering driver support across a range of traffic situations, including hands-free driving at the highest level.

By publicly releasing internally developed technologies, Hyundai Mobis plans to enable more mobility software developers to create added value based on Hyundai Mobis’s software and ultimately establish it as an industry standard.

To this end, the company has joined the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) Working Group under the Eclipse Foundation and will participate in the S-Core project to develop an SDV software platform in earnest.

The S-Core project is a global initiative launched primarily by European companies in late 2024 to standardize foundational technologies such as software platforms and middleware. It is the first open-source-based software platform development project to meet ASIL-B, the automotive industry’s functional safety standard.

Nvidia has launched Alpamayo 2 Super, a 32-billion-parameter reasoning‑based vision language action (VLA) model that extends the Nvidia Alpamayo family of open AI models, simulation frameworks and physical AI datasets for safe Level 4 robotaxi development.

The company has also announced new tools, models and agent skills that complete the pipeline from real-world data capture to closed-loop training and in-vehicle deployment, including Nvidia AlpaGym, Nvidia OmniDreams and new Nvidia Omniverse NuRec models.

According to Nvidia, Alpamayo 2 Super helps accelerate autonomous vehicle (AV) development by eliminating the need to build key autonomy infrastructure from scratch. It reportedly enables humanlike perception, reasoning and action, and provides the interpretability needed for safety validation and regulatory collaboration.

Nvidia has expanded the Nvidia Drive Hyperion robotaxi-ready platform ecosystem, bringing together leading global auto makers, manufacturing and autonomous vehicle software ecosystem partners and ride-hailing mobility providers to build and expand Level 4-ready robotaxi fleets.

Nvidia Drive Hyperion is a safe, scalable, Level 4-ready platform built on the Nvidia Halos full-stack safety system for physical AI. It combines high-performance Nvidia Drive AGX in-vehicle compute, Nvidia Halos OS – the software foundation of Halos, built on the safety-certified Nvidia DriveOS operating system – with a compatible multimodal sensor suite and Nvidia Drive AV software purpose-built for highly automated and autonomous driving capabilities.

Automotive Grade Linux (AGL), a collaborative project at the Linux Foundation, has announced the initial availability of its open-source SoDeV reference platform. The project has also welcomed five new members: EMQ, Lineo Solutions, MediaTek, VA Linux Systems Japan and Very Good Ventures.

AGL SoDeV is an open-source reference platform for building software-defined vehicles. It combines the AGL Unified Code Base (UCB) with Linux containers, VirtIO, the Xen hypervisor, Zephyr RTOS and other Linux Foundation projects in a single pre-integrated package that runs on automotive systems-on-a-chip (SoCs), on virtual machines or in the cloud. SoDeV enables auto makers and suppliers to decouple software development from hardware availability, accelerating SDV time-to-market.

The global eSync Alliance has reached a major milestone after its specifications were adopted for production of the new Tata Sierra, marking its first deployment in a software-defined internal combustion engine vehicle in India. Delivered by Alliance member Excelfore, in partnership with Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, the program reportedly represents a landmark validation of open, standards-based OTA software updates and remote diagnostics.

The Tata Sierra has been engineered from inception as a software-defined vehicle, with OTA update capability and remote diagnostics embedded as core architectural elements rather than retrofit additions. Its OTA infrastructure is an implementation of eSync Alliance specifications, with remote diagnostics enabled through an implementation of ASAM’s Service-Oriented Vehicle Diagnostics specification, reflecting the ongoing collaboration between the eSync Alliance and ASAM to develop and publish models for how the two standards can be deployed together.
