A Sacramento builder spent about two years and roughly $40,000 turning a 1966 Ford Mustang into a functioning Tesla-based EV, complete with a Model 3 dual-motor setup, a large touchscreen, and working Full Self-Driving.

The U.S. Air Force is asking Congress for nearly $1 billion to begin buying its first Collaborative Combat Aircraft, signaling that semi-autonomous wingmen are moving from experimentation into the planned force structure

Defense startup Scout AI has raised a $100 million Series A as it trains AI systems to command autonomous military assets, beginning with logistics and expanding toward weapons applications.

General Motors says Super Cruise has now logged more than a billion miles across nearly 750,000 vehicles in the US and Canada, a milestone that highlights the growing scale of geofenced hands-free driving assistance.

A production-representative MQ-25A Stingray has completed its first test flight, moving the Navy closer to bringing carrier-based autonomous refueling into routine operations.

Tesla’s latest earnings call surfaced a major operational and legal challenge: millions of vehicles sold with Hardware 3 may need physical upgrades before they can run a future version of Full Self-Driving without human.

Ukraine says it used an unmanned surface vessel to launch an interceptor drone that destroyed a Shahed attack drone, signaling a novel blend of naval autonomy and air defense under wartime pressure

Reliable Robotics has raised $160 million as it continues developing an autonomous flight system aimed at civilian and military aircraft and works toward FAA certification.

US Southern Command has announced a new Autonomous Warfare Command intended to link tactical missions to long-term effects using autonomous, semi-autonomous and unmanned platforms across land, sea, space and cyber domain

As GPS jamming and spoofing become easier to deploy, drone navigation is shifting toward onboard vision matched against high-resolution 3D terrain data.

A $6 million Series A round will help Rhea Space Activity advance AutoNav, a visual navigation system for spacecraft designed to work where GPS cannot, including deep space and atmospheric reentry.

Boeing says its A2X software autonomously guided a U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook through final approach and landing, adding a new milestone to the Army’s broader push for aircraft that can reduce crew workload or fly with li

A humanoid robot completed a Beijing half-marathon in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, a dramatic improvement from last year and a sign that autonomy, remote operation and competition rules are evolving together.

Tesla has begun rolling out its supervised driving system in Europe, starting in the Netherlands, but only after drivers complete an on-screen tutorial and pass a short competency test.

A newly surfaced owner complaint and Tesla’s response sharpen the long-running question around how far older Full Self-Driving hardware can still be pushed.

Air Force operators recently conducted hands-on sorties with Anduril’s YFQ-44A at Edwards Air Force Base, offering one of the clearest looks yet at how semiautonomous combat aircraft may be integrated into future force-

Northrop Grumman says its Talon IQ testbed can hand aircraft control between different autonomy systems in flight, a step toward more modular military AI.

Boeing is outlining a future Chinook that could launch swarms of drones and eventually move toward optional-crewing as militaries look for more flexible vertical-lift platforms.

As Tesla prepares its long-awaited Full Self-Driving launch in Europe, owners with HW3-equipped vehicles are pushing back, arguing they paid for a capability the company now appears to reserve for newer hardware.

Dutch approval for Tesla’s supervised driver-assistance system marks a notable regulatory step in Europe and may shape how automated driving features are introduced across the region.
