Waymo, Tesla were preceded by a car that hit 180 kph in autonomous driving in 1995
When people think of self-driving cars, Tesla or Waymo often come to mind, but the technology’s roots go back to the 1970s. One early test vehicle was developed in Japan in 1977 and drove using rooftop cameras. German research later achieved higher-speed autonomous runs and long-distance tests, including a 1995 Mercedes trip that was 95 percent self-driven at up to 180 kph. U.S. universities and DARPA competitions also pushed progress.

Hyundai Motor expands mobile maintenance service across U.S.
Hyundai Motor is expanding a mobile vehicle maintenance service in the United States that sends technicians to customers’ homes or workplaces. Based on pilot operations with some dealers, it plans to roll out the service nationwide and increase the number of service vehicles to 150 by the end of this year. The service covers basic maintenance and light repairs for electric and internal combustion models, while complex repairs will still require dealer service centers.

Mercedes-AMG GT 4-door Coupe aims for fastest EV charging in U.S.
Mercedes-AMG GT 4-door Coupe has stepped up the charging-speed race by touting what it says is the fastest EV charging time in the U.S. market. The car can charge from 10 percent to 80 percent in 11 minutes when using a 600-kW DC fast charger. The figure assumes ultra-high-output charging infrastructure, which remains limited for most U.S. consumers, raising attention to the gap with real-world use.
