Delivering more for our riders in a year of incredible growth
Waymo
Waymo's autonomous ride-hailing service scaled significantly in 2025, beginning to serve over 1 million fully autonomous rides every month starting that spring, and serving over 14 million trips in 2025 alone (more than tripling public rides from the prior year), putting it on track to exceed 20 million lifetime trips by year end. Riders spent over 3.8 million hours in Waymo vehicles. The all-electric fleet helped riders avoid over 18 million kilograms of CO2 emissions, 3x more than the prior year, while achieving more than a 10-fold reduction in serious injury or worse crashes compared to human drivers. Waymo plans to expand ride-hailing operations to over 20 additional cities in 2026, including international cities like Tokyo and London, and is expanding freeway riding and airport service (San Jose Mineta, San Francisco International, and Miami International airports).

How Schiphol is leveraging tech, design, data and AI-powered intelligence to redefine airport capacity and flow management
Royal Schiphol Group built in-house AI-powered tools — Dynamic Time Slots, (Passenger) Flow Balancing, and Gate Planning Insights — to align passenger demand with security and gate capacity. Dynamic Time Slots lets passengers pre-book security check times, steering an average of 7.5% of passengers away from peak moments (up to 22% on critical days), with 99.6% of passengers waiting under 10 minutes. Flow Balancing uses real-time sensor data, predictive models and simulation (a digital twin) to steer passenger groups, preventing over 4,000 minutes of crowding in 2024. Gate Planning Insights uses machine learning to optimise gate stand planning and turnaround operations. Overall passenger satisfaction score is 4.4 out of 5.
Amphitrite Rides AI Wave to Boost Maritime Shipping, Ocean Cleanup With Real-Time Weather Prediction and Simulation
France-based startup Amphitrite fuses satellite data and AI to simulate and predict oceanic currents and weather, using the NVIDIA AI and Earth-2 platforms. Its fine-tuned, three-kilometer-scale AI models (dubbed ORCAst), trained on NVIDIA GPUs, analyze ocean current, wave, and wind data to help ships optimize routes and reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions. Amphitrite trains and runs its AI models using NVIDIA H100 GPUs on premises and in the cloud, building on the FourCastNet model from Earth-2. Fusing AI and satellite imagery, Amphitrite can improve the accuracy of global ocean current analyses by up to 2x compared with traditional methods. A case study along the Mediterranean Sea found the NVIDIA-powered Amphitrite fine-scale routing solution helped reduce one shipping line's carbon emissions by 10%. Shipping and oceanographic companies using Amphitrite's solutions include CMA-CGM, Genavir, Louis Dreyfus Armateurs, and Orange Marine; the company also works with an NGO to track and remove plastic pollution in the Pacific Ocean.
Capgemini pilots AI-RAN-connected autonomous shuttles under Horizon Europe's Project ULTIMO
Capgemini is working within Project ULTIMO, a Horizon Europe-funded initiative, to demonstrate AI-RAN support for large-scale autonomous mobility across European cities. Autonomous shuttles equipped with NVIDIA Jetson Orin modules process sensor data locally, while select video and telemetry streams are sent over 5G to agentic AI applications running on NVIDIA AI-RAN servers for scene understanding, incident and safety detection, and accessibility insights, with mission-critical 5G traffic given priority access to GPU resources.
Pony.ai Realizes Gen-7 Robotaxi City-wide Unit Economics Breakeven
Pony.ai's Gen-7 Robotaxi reached city-wide unit-economics breakeven in Guangzhou in November 2025, with daily average orders per vehicle reaching 23, following official launch of fully driverless commercial Robotaxi operations in Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Beijing. The company operated 961 Robotaxi fleet vehicles (667 Gen-7 units) as of November 23, 2025, targeting 3,000+ vehicles by end of 2026, and reported an additional 20% reduction in Gen-7 autonomous driving kit bill-of-materials costs for 2026 production versus the 2025 baseline. Robotaxi services revenue grew 89.5% year-over-year in Q3 2025, with fare-charging revenue up over 200%.
