Japanese automaker making cars and SUVs globally, including the Nissan Leaf EV, with major manufacturing in Japan and Britain.
Northeastern University researchers found 19 of 21 tested cars sent data to at least one third-party company over Wi-Fi. Teams that review only the vehicle miss most of it, since for most cars the ad-tech traffic came from the phone app.

Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa said the Wayve partnership could cut the cost and the roughly 24-month development time of hands-off driver assistance. The first North American product is due in 2028, about one current cycle away, so any faster schedule has to show up in the Stellantis brands that ship after it.

Applied Intuition will put its Vehicle OS into Nissan's next-generation software platform, six years after the two companies began working together on simulation. No production model or launch date is attached, so Nissan's commitment so far covers development work only.

US EV deliveries have fallen for three straight quarters since the $7,500 credit lapsed in September 2025. Most of the nameplates dropped this year were assembled outside the US, and each quarterly decline is smaller than the last.

CoreWeave's new Physical AI Field Engineering service opens with a workshop and a quantified ROI figure, and the compute environment arrives third. More than 100 engagements in, one customer result is named.

Britain's permit route for cars with nobody in the driver's seat opened on 15 May, and nobody in London has cleared its first stage. So the fastest way to paying passengers was the licence that mandates a human.

The largest of Nissan's new carts hauls about 4,190 pounds and the fleet can cover for a stalled machine, but the software once sent two robots to the same spot, and forklift drivers stay on the floor as insurance while five phases remain.

Fewer than 20 Mach-Es at ordinary Uber fares, each with a Transport for London licensed operator aboard, which makes this a strong test of rider demand and dispatch integration and no test at all of driverless cost.

Fifteen supervised cars joined the Uber app in London on Thursday under a licence that keeps a human in the driving seat until a separate agency, which few expect to move this year, says otherwise.
