So much afoot we've got two: there's the Avro Vulcan howl, the Corsair whistle, Hellcat .50s and tanks with cats, and a cool story about two F-14s that scrambled to blow up an egg salad sandwich.  Then there's tales of Tesla owners attacking each other when there were no protesters around, Honda and Nissan moving in and out of the US but not each other, and failure after failure of electric car greenthink when the "free" taxpayer bucks dry up now that reality is back in charge (ie: American mail trucks and Canadian busmaker bankruptcy).

Autonomous trucking leader Aurora is on the verge of a history-making launch in long-haul trucking: commercialization of its self-driving system, the Aurora Driver. Tune in for a fireside chat with Aurora Senior Vice President of Government Relations and Public Affairs, Gerardo Interiano, to hear the behind-the-scenes work that got them to this pivotal moment: How long has it taken them to prepare for a driverless launch? How do you know when the technology is ready? And how do we prepare the public to share the roads with driverless trucks?

What's next in the battle over congestion tolling in New York City after the transportation secretary extends the city's deadline? Also, the chair of the Truck Leasing Task Force discusses how everyday truckers showed how the system is broke. Then, as autonomous vehicle companies ramp up their plans to deploy products, the public's concerns grow. And spring thaw restrictions are going into effect. A Minnesota DOT official explains how it all works. 0:00 – DOT extends deadline to stop congestion pricing 10:01– Official explains how lease-purchase stories changed his mind 24:27 – Public concerns grow over autonomous vehicles 39:25 – Truckers beware – spring thaw restrictions are here

OOIDA has some concerns about NHTSA's proposed regulations for autonomous trucks – including that fact that reporting would be voluntary. Also, Andrew King with the OOIDA Foundation explains which trucking issues he'll talk about during the upcoming Mid-America Trucking Show.

OOIDA tour truck driver Marty Ellis says some truckers object to the current requirement. 0:00 – Newscast 10:01– Should autonomous vehicle reporting be voluntary? 24:27 – The big issues that will come up at MATS 39:25 – Some truckers say 34 hours is too long for restart

OOIDA wants NHTSA to require greater transparency regarding autonomous vehicles instead of voluntary reporting of testing and other issues. Also, CVSA has compiled a list of what constitutes a great truck driver – and it plans to honor one trucker with a special award. Then, should a trucker ask law enforcement for a ticket instead of a warning? That raises a lot of questions. We'll get some answers from Road Law. And for years, states have slowly but surely moved away from split speed limits. Now, one state is considering legislation to create a new one. 0:00 – OOIDA: Require reporting on autonomous vehicles 10:01– CVSA will honor a driver for excellence 24:27 – A ticket instead of a warning? Maybe, maybe not 39:25 – New Mexico considers split speed limit

Forget “car-lite”, go for “car-free”, an SUTD prof makes the case for drivers to hang up their keys. Synopsis: Every 3rd Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times examines not just vehicle prices but wider transport issues and trends connected to public and private transport. It turned out that capping fares for seniors can be a way to urge older Singaporeans to not only stay mobile, but also ditch their cars for public transport. Dr Samuel Chng, research assistant professor at the Singapore University of Technology and Design, believes that Singapore has the potential to be “car-free”. Also head of SUTD's Urban Psychology Lab in the Lee Kuan Yew Centre for Innovative Cities, Dr Chng sees a future where autonomous vehicles can fill in the gaps left by existing public transport modes.

As farmers know, not all fields are equal, and in England and Wales the Agricultural Land Classification system is used to define how productive farmland is. The best land has more protection from development in the planning system. But according to a report commissioned by the CPRE - the countryside charity - that classification system in England, is based on data from as long ago as the 1940s...so it's somewhat out of date.There's only one farm left in the UK that still grows its tulip bulbs outdoors - PS and J Ward, near Kings Lynn. Anna Hill visits the farm to see the process: after the tulips have flowered in the field, the bulbs are harvested and stored, then they're brought into glasshouses, where they produce the flowers we buy in the shops. And we dive straight into the future, to see a crop of parsnips, sown, grown and harvested - by robots.Presented by Anna Hill Produced by Heather Simons

A House subcommittee took a close look at autonomous vehicles, while a bill would ensure electric vehicle owners help pay for roads. Also, we have a nominee to head NHTSA, a federal agency with a huge impact on trucking. Then, the new Congress wasted no time drilling down into the truck parking crisis. And what does it take for a private individual to create some truck parking? A trucker told OOIDA tour truck driver Marty Ellis. 0:00 – Congress hears plea for autonomous vehicle safeguards 09:46 – Nominee to head NHTSA brings some agency experience to the table 24:24 – Congress drills down into truck parking issue 39:23 – The problems with trying to create truck parking

In California, a regulation from the state's Division of Occupational Safety and Health, or Cal/OSHA, dating to 1977, has prohibited the use of autonomous agricultural equipment without a driver at the helm.

Last month, Netradyne, the logistics AI startup, became India's first unicorn of 2025 after it raised 90 million dollars in series D funding. You see, it did not take it long to realise that its sweet spot is the long-distance trucking segment. It serves over 3,000 customers across eight countries, including the likes of Amazon, Shell, Indian Oil and Greenline Mobility. And it all began with one rather primitive prototype. Of course, now it has morphed into a compact device with a built-in GPU, up to four cameras, and a disembodied voice alerting drivers not to crash the vehicle.The Ken reporter Abhirami G recently found herself in the backseat of one of Netradyne's test cars in Bengaluru's Whitefield neighbourhood. The driver of the car was a Netradyne employee. And as he weaved through the traffic, the company's signature always-on surveillance cameras didn't just watch his every move, but also apparently “understood” and “analysed”. As he drove, he was generating the precious training data that powers the company's bread and butter. Apart from making roads safer, this whole system also doubles up as a driver's best legal defence in times of trouble. The company's executive Vice president of Engineering Teja Gudena said that on multiple occasions, it has saved drivers from liability by proving their innocence in accidents. Apart from its new-found unicorn status, it reportedly managed to clock Rs 1,000 crore in revenue in 2023. It also currently has a stronghold in the US and other major global markets. Reaching all of these milestones within nine years is pretty remarkable. But despite all that success, Netradyne is now grappling with an existential crisis. Because now, driverless vehicles are no longer science fiction, they are a logistical inevitability. And that leaves Netradyne in a rather tricky spot. Tune in

Kodiak Robotics has officially handed off two autonomous trucks to customer Atlas Energy Solutions, marking the startup's first commercial launch.  Atlas, a provider of proppant (i.e., sand) and oilfield logistics, received its first Kodiak-equipped trucks in December and began driverless operations in an off-road environment in West Texas's remote Permian Basin shortly after.
