Uber, Pony.ai, Verne plan Europe's first robotaxi launch |
|
|
📌 Uber, Pony.ai, and Verne are advancing robotaxi commercialization in Europe through a platform-driven, multi-partner deployment model. |
|
-
Uber partnered with Pony.ai and Verne to launch Europe’s first commercial robotaxi service in Zagreb.
-
The collaboration combines Uber’s ride-hailing platform, Pony.ai’s autonomous driving technology, and Verne’s fleet operations.
-
Pony.ai will supply the self-driving system, while Verne will own and operate the vehicle fleet.
-
Uber will integrate the robotaxi service into its global app alongside Verne’s local platform.
-
The companies plan to scale from Zagreb to other European cities with a fleet of thousands of robotaxis.
-
Public-road testing has already begun, with preparations underway for fare-charging operations.
-
Verne will lead regulatory approvals and coordinate deployment across both platforms.
-
Uber continues to expand its autonomous ecosystem through partnerships across robotaxis, trucking, delivery, and drones.

Omnivision Drives Sensor S-Curve Forward as Autonomous Technology Moves Toward Trust-Based Engineering
|
|
|
📌 Autonomous driving is shifting toward integrated perception platforms and human-centric design, where trust and cost will determine large-scale adoption. |
|
-
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) principles are being adapted to autonomous vehicle sensing, enabling a new generation of perception systems.
-
FMCW LiDAR derived from OCT improves accuracy, data speed, and robustness under challenging lighting conditions.
-
Replacing rotating mirrors with diffraction gratings expands field of view while maintaining depth precision.
-
Advanced perception requires integration of LiDAR, radar, cameras, and V2V communication into a unified platform.
-
LED flicker and complex urban visuals highlight the need for specialized camera processing alongside LiDAR.
-
Public trust remains a major barrier, with up to 63% of pedestrians expressing discomfort with autonomous vehicles.
-
Human-machine interface innovations, such as Jaguar’s “virtual eyes,” aim to improve communication with pedestrians.
-
Cost reduction and regulatory support are key drivers for scaling autonomous vehicle adoption.

RoboSense Showcases Digital LiDAR Portfolio for Industrial Robotics at LogiMAT 2026 |
|
|
📌 RoboSense is expanding into industrial robotics by positioning its digital LiDAR as an ecosystem-integrated perception solution beyond automotive.
|
|
-
RoboSense showcased its full digital LiDAR portfolio at LogiMAT 2026, targeting industrial robotics and autonomous logistics applications.
-
The company demonstrated a 3D industrial safety LiDAR along with ultra-mini high-precision sensors for robotics use cases.
-
Its LiDAR solutions were integrated into partner robots across warehousing, material handling, commercial cleaning, and logistics.
-
RoboSense is positioning itself as a “perception partner” by embedding sensors into broader robotics ecosystems.
-
The strategy signals a shift from standalone hardware sales toward ecosystem-driven deployment models.
-
Industrial automation and warehouse robotics are emerging as key growth markets for LiDAR adoption.
-
Safety-critical applications offer higher value potential but require strict performance and reliability standards.
-
RoboSense faces ongoing competition from camera, radar, and alternative sensor technologies as the market matures.
