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.

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.

Following a £14.1m (US$19m) fundraising to support global expansion, Aurrigo International has opened a new UK hub, marking a key step in its growth and manufacturing capability. Production of the company’s autonomous vehicles will begin shortly at a facility in Power Park, Coventry.

The new site measures over 12,000m2, more than three times the size of the firm’s current facility, and will serve as its UK hub for advanced engineering, autonomous vehicle development, high-volume manufacturing and ongoing automotive activities.

This expansion supports Aurrigo’s recently launched international hub and licensing program, which aims to accelerate the company’s global commercialization strategy by seeking local relationships, funding and manufacturing support in Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the US.

As automotive software becomes more sophisticated, extensive evaluation and validation to ensure the safety and performance of related products have emerged as critical processes, alongside global R&D competition in autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) technologies. Global auto makers are increasingly requiring suppliers to provide large-scale, data-driven validation, often involving tens of thousands of hours of testing, before approving core components for use in software-defined vehicles (SDVs).

Hyundai Mobis has established a data integration management solution that it says significantly shortens this process, enabling the company to secure a competitive edge in the global market.

The evaluation and validation system can repeatedly test electronic control units (ECUs) for SDVs and autonomous driving by linking data from actual road tests with data management solutions and simulators to replicate various driving scenarios.

The autonomous driving industry is entering a new commercial phase. The challenge is no longer simply proving that driverless technology works, but improving performance quickly and consistently to enable broader deployment, stronger unit economics and sustained technical leadership.

To address this, Pony.ai has launched PonyWorld 2.0, the latest upgrade to its proprietary world model and a major advancement in the core training system behind its autonomous driving stack. The key advancement is its ability to identify its own weaknesses and guide targeted improvements. The upgrade introduces three core capabilities: self-diagnosis, targeted data collection in areas where performance is still limited and more efficient training focused on the most challenging cases.

The Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies (RV Tech) joint venture has completed winter testing of its production-intent zonal architecture for the first generation of software‑defined vehicles (SDVs). Over the course of several months of testing in Phoenix, Arizona, and Arjeplog, Sweden, a joint team from Volkswagen, Audi, Scout and RV Tech validated the functionality and performance of the electronics and software.

The partnership is developing SDV technology, from operating systems to zonal controllers to cloud and connectivity solutions.

Oliver Blume, CEO of the Volkswagen Group, said, “We are accelerating toward the future. With the successful completion of the winter tests, our joint venture once again demonstrates the speed and precision of its work.
