In January 2023, Mobileye began on-road autonomous driving tests in Germany using Nio ES8 vehicles equipped with the Mobileye Drive AV system, following a permit granted under Germany's updated autonomous vehicle regulations. The pilot operates with a safety driver on board during the testing phase.

The program was announced at IAA Mobility 2021 as a commercial robotaxi partnership between Mobileye (fleet owner) and Sixt SE (planned mobility operator), with rides to be bookable through the Sixt and Moovit apps. Mobileye Drive-equipped Nio ES8s form the test fleet; Schaeffler AG participates as a technology partner. The pilot was announced to start in Munich and later expand across Germany and other European cities.

Source note: January 2023 testing start is confirmed by CnEVPost citing Mobileye's German permit. Commercial passenger service status and current operational scope are unconfirmed in available sources as of the ingest date.
