The world's first taxis appeared in ancient Rome. First they were chariots. Later they were replaced by horse-drawn carriages, and then by cars. Progress does not stand still, so the sphere of people's transportation is also undergoing changes. First of all, this concerns the expansion of the types of transport involved. Cycle rickshaws are being replaced by electric taxis. Australia has launched underwater transport. In Paris, there is a hydrofoil water taxi. In Germany, flying taxi drones cover distances of up to 35 km. And SpaceX is in full swing building a prototype space taxi - Dragon2. So far, unmanned vehicles have the greatest prospects for moving from test projects to mass production as soon as possible. #inventions #ai #technology If you are the author of the materials or the copyright owner of it, but your authorship was not indicated or you object to its use, please contact me: [email protected] Don’t miss next videos: Press the little bell ((🔔)) to get notifications Production Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound Subscribe!

City staff presented an update to Austin City Council members on self-driving vehicles on Thursday. It's the first city update since the Robotaxi launch. Waymo has more than 100 cars operating in Austin, while Tesla has about 20 cars picking up riders. Dozens more are also being tested on roads, such as Zoox, Volkwagen, and Avride.

Alphabet's Waymo robotaxis have driven more than 100 million miles without a human behind the wheel, doubling the mileage in about six months, a top company official said, as it speeds up deployment in U.

As part of the deal, Uber is locking in at least 20,000 Lucid Gravity SUVs equipped with Nuro’s Level 4 autonomy. Uber plans to own and operate this fleet itself through its app, essentially building a driverless ride-hailing service from the ground up. A pilot rollout is expected as early as late 2026, starting in a major U.S. city.
