5 mobility stories you should not have missed in April 2026
The mobility sector is undergoing a rapid transformation driven by autonomy, electrification, connectivity and new transport modes. Five major developments stood out in April 2026.

INNOVATION REVIEW ON BATTERY AND ENERGY TECH
This month, Autotech Council members open their discussion on Batteries and Energy to the public. Join OEMs, suppliers, startups and VCs to discover technologies working to improve the longevity, cost, size, safety, and chargeability of energy storage.
Building a better battery is a difficult task, full of trade-offs. A battery may have higher energy density, but be explosive, another may be cheaper to produce, but have a short life. It’s very difficult to create a better battery that falls in that “Goldilocks zone” of meeting all the needs of EVs. But tons of R&D and innovation are working on it, and making progress.
In Autotech Council’s “Battery and Energy” meeting, we’ll look at many related factors, discuss the future, and meet a variety of startups and innovators with solutions to these same challenges.
Join us for an interesting look at the future of batteries, EVs, and energy.

The mobility sector is undergoing a rapid transformation driven by autonomy, electrification, connectivity and new transport modes. Five major developments stood out in April 2026.

After nearly a year limited to Austin and San Francisco, Tesla is taking its autonomous ride service to two new Texas cities. Here is what we know so far.

For years, Europe has been seen as moving more cautiously than other regions in the development of autonomous ride-hailing services. That dynamic may now be changing.
