Tesla’s planned rollout of its driverless Cybercab has drawn scrutiny from federal regulators, prompting an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) into the vehicle’s autonomous safety systems. Meanwhile, the CEO of Here Technologies, a mapping subsidiary of automakers, has outlined how the industry is reversing course on its reliance on third-party navigation services, instead prioritizing in-house map solutions for self-driving vehicles. The move reflects growing concerns over data security and control in autonomous driving technology. Industry observers are watching closely as these developments could reshape the future of self-driving transportation.
