**Welcome back, Superhuman. **Robotaxis are scaling faster than anyone predicted, as Waymo announced that it’s now logging over 500,000 paid rides a week, more than 10x its volume from just two years ago. However, the road ahead for robotaxis is not exactly smooth sailing. In Wuhan, Baidu’s Apollo Go fleet suffered a system-wide failure, triggering a traffic disruption we’ve never seen before.

#### **WHAT’S NEXT**
## **The most important news and breakthroughs in robotics this week**

**1. Waymo scratches a major milestone off its list: **In less than two years, Waymo has grown its weekly paid trips by 10x from 50k rides in 2024 to 500k today. The company added seven Sun Belt markets in just the past year, stretching from Austin to Orlando, while keeping its fleet steady at around 3,000 vehicles. With its 6th-gen self-driving system already live in early development, Waymo's rivals have some serious catching up to do. Here’s a [chart](https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/27/waymo-skyrocketing-ridership-in-one-chart/) documenting the company’s surprising growth trajectory.
**2. Physical Intelligence eyes $1B raise as robotics interest grows: **The company is [reportedly](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-27/ex-deepmind-staffers-robotics-startup-in-talks-for-11-billion-valuation) in talks to raise $1B at an $11B valuation, up from $5.6B just four months ago. The two-year-old startup is building AI models that teach robots to fold clothes, make coffee, and assemble boxes on command. If successful, the raise could potentially bring Physical Intelligence’s total valuation closer to rivals Skild AI and Figure AI, valued at $14B and $39B, respectively.
**3. A 'system failure' left 100 Baidu robotaxis stranded in Wuhan:** Over 100 Apollo Go robotaxis [simultaneously froze](https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/baidu-robotaxi-outage-wuhan-caused-by-system-failure-police-say-2026-04-01) in the middle of busy roads in Wuhan after a 'system failure' hit Baidu's robotaxi fleet. Some passengers were stuck inside for up to two hours before police assisted with the exit. The wild incident has reignited debates about the safety and accountability of autonomous vehicles. See the incident unfold [here](https://www.reuters.com/video/watch/idRW918801042026RP1/).

🔥 **Blaze Buddy: **Dubai has deployed quadruped robots to tackle blazes in high-rises, tunnels, and chemical sites where temperatures can exceed 500°C. The robots, which blast up to 2,400 liters of water per minute, are already active in live incidents, marking one of the most compelling real-world deployments of robotics in public safety yet. You see them in action [here](https://x.com/rohanpaul_ai/status/2038755135669829850?s ).
🗺️ **City Sidekick:** Students at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences have [transformed](https://www.hs-bremerhaven.de/en/whats-new/news/2026-new-news/peppermint) Pepper, a decade-old, 4-foot humanoid robot, into a tourism assistant that reads facial expressions, responds to gestures, and displays QR codes for local attractions. Powered by Google's Gemini, Pepper is programmed as a city expert, giving visitors directions, cruise terminal check-in help, and preplanned city routes.
🚀 **Lending a Hand:** A Chinese commercial satellite has successfully trialed a flexible robotic arm in orbit, completing four [key tasks](https://interestingengineering.com/ai-robotics/china-flexible-space-robotic-arm): autonomous refueling simulations, remote ground-controlled operation, vision-guided docking, and force-sensitive drawing of shapes on a board. The goal is a future where broken or fuel-depleted satellites can be repaired and refueled in orbit without having to come home.

At its debut at Disneyland Paris, Disney’s much-anticipated Olaf animatronic malfunctioned mid-performance, struck a T-pose, and toppled backward in front of a stunned crowd. The clip blew up on social media, spawning a wave of [memes and video edits](https://www.forbes.com/sites/danidiplacido/2026/04/02/disneys-olaf-and-rapunzel-go-viral-after-animatronic-mishaps/).
