One failure can reshape public trust in EVs overnight. That’s why every detail matters—and why collaboration across the entire EV ecosystem is

Even small components like battery pack vents play an outsized role in preventing thermal runaway events, explosions, and fires. The SAE Battery Pack Venting Committee understands this challenge and answered the call with the new SAE J3325™ Technical Information Report—a guide to designing, testing, and integrating battery vents that perform when it matters most.

To dive deeper, we spoke with Dr. Michael Harenbrock, Principal Expert of Electric Mobility at MANN+HUMMEL GmbH, and chair of the SAE Battery Pack Venting Committee, about how SAE J3325 is helping engineers enhance EV battery safety—and how their work evolves to keep pace with emerging ventilation technologies and trends.

The hallmark of exceptional autonomous driving technology isn’t just how it reacts in a crisis but how it avoids one altogether. That’s the vision behind May Mobility: a world where self-driving cars confidently navigate busy intersections, unexpected detours, and pedestrian-filled crosswalks with the instincts of a seasoned human driver.

At the core of May Mobility’s technology platform is its patented Multi-Policy Decision Making (MPDM) system. This breakthrough technology uses real-time, in-situ AI to interpret data,

continuously learning and adapting to new, complex, and unpredictable driving conditions. By learning on the fly—much like a human driver—May Mobility’s AVs can be deployed faster and more cost-effectively than traditional systems.

To explore how May Mobility is scaling its AV technology, we spoke with Ed Olson, CEO and Founder, about the company’s city-wide AV deployments, strategic partnerships with Toyota and NTT, and its entrance into the rideshare market through a new collaboration with Lyft. It’s an engaging, behind-the-scenes look at how AI-powered mobility solutions are transforming urban transportation and paving the way for safer, smarter roads.

The robotaxi market is experiencing significant change, with the once-dominant Waymo now facing competition from new entrants like Nuro and Wayve who are licensing their autonomous driving technology — a strategy that could reshape the industry.

In addition, Tesla’s Cybercab is aiming to launch a commercial service by the end of 2025 that

allows owners to generate revenue through the Tesla network. Lyft and Uber are also adapting through the power of partnership, emphasizing the importance of fleet management in the operation and maintenance of robotaxis.

In this Unplugged episode of SAE Tomorrow Today, host Grayson Brulte breaks it all down and discusses how the impact of a fragmented market will likely result in a convergence of personally owned AVs, traditional robotaxis, and niche players.
