Marquee deployments

DEPLOY’s marquee deployment pages are full-narrative reference pages for the most editorially significant deployments in the physical-AI verified record. Each combines verified operational data, source-tracked milestones, and editorial context that situates the deployment in the broader category.

• Waymo San Francisco

  The canonical robotaxi-at-scale deployment in 2026. From August 2023 commercial permit through May 2026, Waymo SF grew to 800+ Bay Area vehicles, 24/7 service, freeway operation, and a ~500,000 weekly-rides total across the program.

• Tesla Robotaxi Austin

  The most-watched and most-claimed-about robotaxi deployment in the United States, launched June 22, 2025. The canonical reference for what verified-vs-claimed means as a discipline applied to physical-AI deployment data.

• GXO Flowery Branch and Agility Robotics Digit

  The first humanoid robot deployed to a paying commercial customer's live workplace. June 5, 2024 commercial start; 100,000+ totes moved by late 2025; the canonical reference for what sustained humanoid-in-warehouse operation looks like.

• BMW Spartanburg and Figure 02

  The completed industrial humanoid pilot. From January 2024 partnership announcement through November 2025 official retirement, two Figure 02 robots produced 1,250 hours of operation, supported 30,000+ BMW X3s, and handled 90,000+ parts. The cleanest published case study in commercial humanoid evaluation.

• Apollo Go Wuhan

  The largest single-city robotaxi deployment in the world (1,000+ vehicles, 24/7 fully driverless), and the site of the first publicly-documented fleet-wide system failure in a commercial robotaxi service (March 31, 2026). Scale and failure modes, both at full operational visibility.
