Stellantis to Integrate Wayve's Self-Driving Software in Future Vehicles
Waymo is deploying its new "Ojai" robotaxi for public rides in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix, a purpose-built minivan designed with Zeekr. This rollout follows a recall of over 3,000 Waymo vehicles due to software issues causing them to drive into standing water, prompting a temporary suspension of freeway services.
Stellantis announced a strategic partnership with UK-based self-driving startup Wayve to integrate its "AI Driver" software into the STLA AutoDrive platform, targeting a Level 2+ launch in North America by 2028. Wayve's technology is notable for its map-free, learning-based driving approach.
The US House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved the "BUILD America 250 Act," establishing the first federal framework for autonomous commercial trucks. This bill includes safety standards, US-based remote driver requirements, and a $27.5 million workforce development grant.
Organized labor, led by the Teamsters union, is actively resisting the broader rollout of driverless vehicles, despite 360 million miles of US self-driving travel. The union has successfully blocked legislation in several states, highlighting persistent societal hurdles for widespread AV adoption.
