Zoox software recall (smoke detection failure) and NHTSA pressure highlight perception edge-case challenges. Tesla robotaxi fleet in Texas quadrupled to 175 vehicles; DC bill proposes 250k testing mile mandate; Uber commits €2B to European AV deployment. WeRide and Pony.ai continue scaling in China. GA2AD adversarial training framework shows 55-70% collision reduction. Vehicle security becomes critical as physical AI advances; Autocrypt's security-by-design approach expands to commercial vehicles and industrial robots. New: SafeDrive from Seoul National University introduces safety-aware trajectory generation for AVs, Korea's first CVPR highlight in end-to-end driving, with commercialization plans. NHTSA issues one-month ultimatum to robotaxi makers on emergency-scene blind spots, with California AB 1777 adding real-time geofencing authority—major regulatory escalation. Here Technologies pushes back on 'mapless' AV narrative, arguing maps are indispensable for safety and redundancy.
