DOT is preparing a series of autonomous-vehicle regulatory moves this year to further shape how the technology reaches commercial scale — including in the freight sector.

Torc is working with the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute through a state planning grant intended to help shape training for jobs linked to autonomous truck manufacturing.

At launch, Uber riders will have the opportunity to match with a Zoox robotaxi on eligible trips. It’s the first time Zoox has partnered with a third party.

The new features extend the capabilities of Samsara Coach, a driver coaching experience that uses real-time AI voice agents and customizable avatars to deliver personalized guidance.

The selected projects include a partnership between the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and companies Joby Aviation, Archer Aviation, Beta Technologies and Electra. 

Momenta may seek to raise at least $1 billion in the IPO, Bloomberg reports, adding that deliberations are ongoing and no final decisions have been made. 

Energy Minister Tim Hodgson gave further details on the package March 3, including C$44 million for upgrades to the Northwest Transmission Line in northern British Columbia.

Freightliner Cascadias equipped with Torc’s software began testing in Michigan in February, adding to trials already underway on roads in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and in Virginia.

Bot Auto’s first driverless runs on public roads took place in the summer of 2025 in the Houston area. A 40-mile validation run took place July 17 with no one in the cab or remote assistance.

The largest part of the investment will be an AI data center to support autonomous vehicle development and robot learning, according to a statement from South Korea’s land ministry.
