Kramatorsk evacuations continue as Madrid tests robotaxis

In Kramatorsk, humanitarian teams are conducting evacuations under the constant threat of Russian drone activity. Activists from Proliska are navigating narrow streets to rescue civilians, including elderly residents, from areas facing imminent assault. Residents report living without water, electricity, or internet for extended periods amidst continuous explosions.

In Madrid, a partnership between Uber, WeRide, and Avomo has deployed approximately twenty vans equipped with sensors and cameras to map terrain between Alcobendas and Hortaleza. The goal is to gather data on road design and driver behavior to prepare for future autonomous services. While Uber aims for commercial operations by late 2026, the Spanish Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) maintains that the current testing phase does not constitute a commercial license and has not set a definitive timeline for public service.
