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.

Beep has announced that ATL Spoke, an autonomous transit pilot deployed in partnership with Atlanta Beltline, is now in service and open to the public. The ATL Spoke represents the first autonomous public transit in the City of Atlanta.

The 12-month pilot, funded by the Georgia Transportation Efficiency Authority, will evaluate how autonomous transit can support flexible, cost-effective neighbourhood circulation while complementing existing MARTA service.

“As we seek to create an integrated and connected transportation network, ATL Spoke showcases the way innovative thinking can solve for the first-mile, last-mile connectivity challenges when we work with partners like MARTA, the Georgia Transportation Efficiency Authority and Beep,” said Clyde Higgs, president and CEO of Atlanta Beltline.

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.

California-headquartered autonomous mobility specialist Kodiak AI has announced that it is to begin international operations with a new pilot operation at West Fraser Timber‘s log-hauling operations in Alberta, Canada, where trucks will be deployed equipped with its Kodiak Driver AI-powered autonomous driving system.

In the initial phase of work, Kodiak will pilot the use of its self-driving technology to transport timber from forest sites to one of West Fraser’s Alberta processing facilities in Western Canada later this year. Results of the pilot will be used to inform any future long-term deployment of Kodiak Driver-equipped trucks for commercial driverless operations.

Bosch has begun supplying hardware components to Kodiak AI as part of their collaboration on autonomous driving technology.

Kodiak is testing and validating camera samples from Bosch and has integrated early prototype sensors into its SensorPods, which house autonomous driving hardware. The company is also evaluating Bosch vehicle actuation components as part of ongoing development and testing.

Since announcing their collaboration in January 2026, Bosch and Kodiak AI have progressed from strategic alignment to joint engineering work.

“The quick transition to tangible engineering progress underscores the velocity behind this collaboration,” said Don Burnette, founder and CEO, Kodiak AI.

Pirelli and Univrses have announced that they have signed an agreement for the integration of the Swedish deep tech specialist’s AI‑based computer vision 3DAI technologies into the tier maker’s Cyber Tyre system. Pirelli has also acquired a 30% stake in Univrses.

The combination of the technologies developed by Univrses and Pirelli will deliver vehicles that are “safer and more performant”, the companies said, with potential applications in ADAS and autonomous driving systems. The solution will also deliver timely, relevant and actionable data, for a range of road management use cases. Insights will enable road authorities to make better decisions and deploy resources more effectively, potentially reducing road-related accidents and saving lives.

Beamr will be exhibiting at this year’s Autonomous Vehicle Tech Expo (June 23-25, 2026, Stuttgart, Germany), and AAVI recently asked the company about what ML-safe compression requires across the AV pipeline, in an exclusive feature first published in the April 2026 issue, which you can read below:

Across the autonomous vehicle industry, compression is no longer optional. Fleets produce vast volumes of real-world footage, while synthetic data from world foundation models often exceeds that volume. Datasets are growing faster than ML pipelines can absorb, creating compounding pressure on storage, data transfer, pipeline throughput and development timelines.
