   NHTSA reviews Tesla robotaxi school-zone speeding claim

   NHTSA has opened a defect petition review into claims that Tesla robotaxis exceeded posted speed limits in active school zones, covering roughly 1,000 vehicles with no reported crashes, injuries or fatalities. The petition, received 23 September and opened for review 9 October, covers 2026 model year Robotaxi, Model Y and Cybercab vehicles and supplied three video links as evidence, according to Business Insider. Those are the same 1,000 vehicles already under a separate NHTSA inquiry into how Tesla certified the Cybercab, which has no steering wheel, pedals or mirrors and which the company signed off itself; neither matter is yet a full investigation and no deadline has been set. Speeding also blocks Tesla's bid for EU-wide approval of its driver-assistance software: Germany wants the system held to 10% above the limit, the Dutch-approved version reportedly permits up to 50% over the detected limit, and France and Sweden have raised concerns, with the October vote not held and December now the earliest.

   Wayve and Stellantis detail AI Driver rollout in Fiat, Jeep and Maserati, targeting 2028

   At the Wave by Vento event in Turin, Wayve CEO Alex Kendall and Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa detailed their partnership: the Wayve AI Driver will run on Stellantis's STLA AutoDrive platform for hands-free, supervised driving, with a first launch targeted for North America in 2028. Demo rides were given in a Fiat 500e and a Maserati Grecale, and Kendall said the system is tuned per brand and should run on under $1,000 of hardware. Kendall framed supervised driving as a step toward eyes-off and driverless systems, and noted Wayve also has a Mercedes-Benz production deal and a supervised robotaxi service with Uber in London.

   Uber and Pony.ai to test Gen-7 robotaxis in London within weeks

   Pony.ai will begin testing its seventh-generation robotaxis in London in the coming weeks, ahead of a service on Uber, the company said on X on Thursday. Pony.ai gave no number of vehicles and no date for a commercial launch, and the two companies have not said who will own and run the London fleet, according to TechCrunch. The move follows their live partnership in Zagreb, where Pony.ai supplies the self-driving system and the Arcfox Alpha T5 vehicle, a third party owns and operates the fleet, and Uber provides the ride-hailing network; London is expected to follow a similar model.

   State of AI Report 2026: three-lab race, agent gains, $105B revenue

   Air Street Press released its ninth annual State of AI Report, with author Nathan Benaich describing a three-lab frontier race: Anthropic leads Artificial Analysis's Intelligence Index while Google tops Arena's human-preference ranking. The report cites a controlled study in which changing tools, context and feedback — without touching weights — lifted GLM-5.1's success on 100 SWE-bench Verified tasks from 52.5% to 65.5%, and says Anthropic's internal index credits Claude with 26% of measured model R&D work in August, up from under 1% in February. It also reports that OpenAI and Anthropic's combined annualized revenue run rates reached about $105B by late summer, up from roughly $30B at the start of the year, while Epoch AI estimates the cost of reaching a fixed benchmark score has fallen 47% per quarter since 2023.
