- basis
- Nuro Driver L4 driverless operations active (zero-occupant vehicles) in Houston and the Bay Area (Mountain View/Palo Alto); operational area expanded ~70% (Houston) / ~83% (Bay Area), now operating after dark. Deployment reflects Nuro Driver R&D/driverless ops (modeled here as nuro-r2). Nuro pivoted to licensing the Nuro Driver in 2024; first-party robotaxi (Lucid/Uber) targeted late 2026.
