Is ROii actually deployed in the real world?

Yes. ROii is independently verified in real-world operation on the DEPLOY registry, confirmed at named deployment sites with primary sources: not a concept, render, or demo-only.

ROii is made by Autonomous A2Z, based in Gyeongsan-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea, founded in 2018.

Where is ROii deployed?

4 verified deployments of ROii are on the DEPLOY registry, including at Seoul, South Korea, Abu Dhabi, UAE, Naruto City, Tokushima Prefecture, Japan.

ROii is in pilot deployments with named customers and is not yet broadly for sale.

What are alternatives to ROii?

On the DEPLOY registry, comparable av robots to ROii include Waymo Driver (6th gen), Ojai, Tesla Robotaxi (Model Y ADS), Apollo RT6.

How does ROii compare to Waymo Driver (6th gen)?

ROii and Waymo Driver (6th gen) (Waymo · 15 deployments) are both av robots on the DEPLOY registry. ROii has 4 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.

What is ROii's maturity stage?

ROii is at the pilot stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Pilot stage means at least one named-customer trial deployment is verified.

ROii has no incidents on record in the DEPLOY registry. This does not constitute a safety guarantee; it reflects the incidents DEPLOY has tracked and verified to date.
