Uber and Chinese autonomous vehicle startup Momenta plan to begin testing robotaxis in Munich, Germany, in 2026, marking their first publicly announced deployment in continental Europe. The initial tests will feature human safety operators onboard to monitor and intervene if necessary. Uber selected Munich due to its strong engineering heritage and automotive ecosystem, highlighting Germany’s historical influence on the global automotive industry. This move positions Uber in direct competition with other ride-hailing companies like Lyft, which is partnering with Baidu to deploy robotaxis across Europe starting next year. Momenta, founded in 2016 and based in Beijing, is a leading player in China’s autonomous vehicle market, with ongoing operations in Shanghai and partnerships with major automakers such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). The company’s ADAS technology is already installed on 400,000 vehicles worldwide. To launch in Germany, Momenta must obtain regulatory approval by demonstrating that its vehicles meet safety standards and defining geo-fenced operating

Swift Navigation, a company specializing in centimeter-level positioning technology for vehicle autonomy, robotics, and precision logistics, has raised $50 million in a Series E funding round, bringing its total funding to $250 million. The company’s Skylark Precise Positioning Service is a cloud-based system that enhances traditional GNSS signals, such as GPS, improving positioning accuracy from several meters to the centimeter level. This technology supports a wide range of applications including autonomous lawnmowers, agricultural robots, delivery robots, drones, advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS), and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. Skylark differentiates itself by using advanced atmospheric modeling, cloud architecture, and carrier-grade networks to provide reliable, safe, and cost-efficient positioning at scale. It is ISO 26262:2018 certified for functional safety in road vehicles and operates entirely in the cloud, unlike other ASIL-certified solutions that depend on expensive physical data centers.

Chinese automaker BYD has introduced an advanced Level 4 (L4) autonomous parking feature as part of its God’s Eye advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS). This system enables vehicles to park themselves independently within predefined conditions without driver input. BYD has pledged to assume full liability for any malfunctions or algorithm errors during autonomous parking, covering all repair costs, third-party property damage, and personal injury compensation when the vehicle is at fault. This guarantee allows drivers to bypass insurance claims for parking incidents, potentially avoiding premium increases. The new L4 parking functionality enhances user experience with expanded parking scenarios and a three-speed parking option. BYD plans to deliver a significant over-the-air update to the God’s Eye system, improving parking, driving performance, and overall safety. Since its launch in February 2025, the God’s Eye ADAS has been installed in over one million BYD vehicles, including affordable models, reflecting the company’s commitment to democratizing autonomous driving technology.
