Jason Hallman, principal engineer for safety and crashworthiness at Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America: "Let's go back to the drawing board. Let's think a little more about this." Photo credit: HANS GREIMEL DETROIT — For decades, automakers have studied what happens to people inside cars when the vehicles crash with an alert driver behind the wheel. But engineers are only beginning to understand how bodies might be flung around inside autonomous vehicles when the "driver" is checking email, watching TV or even sleeping. The question matters because occupants of self-driving cars might need a host of new safety technologies to protect them. Drivers and riders might not brace for impact or even be facing forward at all, if futuristic visions for self-driving lounge spaces come to fruition. Toyota Motor Corp. just completed its biggest in-depth study of the matter, chronicling the body movements of people in simulated near crashes of a...

In January, Lyft began offering rides in self-driving BMWs in Las Vegas. SAN FRANCISCO -- Lyft has completed more than 5,000 self-driving rides through its ride-hailing app, the company said on Tuesday, as it seeks to become a serious competitor in autonomous driving while its biggest rival, Uber, retrenches. Lyft launched its self-driving service in January in Las Vegas , where passengers can take a ride in an autonomous BMW to and from some 20?pickup and destination spots around the city's casino-laden Strip. The autonomous driving system is not built by Lyft, however, but by high-tech auto parts supplier Aptiv, which Lyft partnered with?this year. Lyft is developing its own self-driving system, but company officials have declined to say when it will be ready for public streets. Lyft is far behind competitors such as Waymo, which has been testing autonomous cars for about a decade. The Las Vegas service is available to all Lyft passengers, who get a prompt asking whether they ag...

Volkswagen AG is on the hunt for self-driving technology and recently tried to buy Aurora Innovation, an autonomous-driving startup founded by veterans of Tesla Inc. and Alphabet Inc., according to people familiar with the matter. The German carmaker has been scouring Silicon Valley for targets or partnerships that can help it develop self-driving cars and other mobility technology. Volkswagen had talks to buy Aurora, which is already a partner, only to be rebuffed because the Palo Alto, Calif.-based company wanted to maintain its independence and work with multiple carmakers, said the people, who asked not to be named because the discussions are private. For Volkswagen, the search to purchase self-driving technology is a play to catch up to rivals that have forged ahead for several years. Alphabet’s Waymo unit is seen as the leader, and rival automakers have bought self-driving technology developers. Buying Aurora or another company would follow moves by rivals to align with AI specia...
