- What is Tensor Robocar?
- World's first personal Level 4 autonomous vehicle for private ownership, featuring 100+ sensors (37 cameras, 5 lidars, 11 radars), dual-mode operation (manual + autonomous), foldable steering wheel, and an AI agent powered by Tensor Foundation Models. Manufactured by VinFast, powered by NVIDIA Thor-X GPUs. Targeting deliveries in H2 2026.
- How much does Tensor Robocar cost?
- Tensor Robocar's price is not publicly disclosed. DEPLOY has no verified price on record for Tensor Robocar from Tensor Auto. Physical-AI systems like this are often sold through enterprise contracts or operated as a service rather than at a public list price; check the manufacturer for the latest.
- Is Tensor Robocar actually deployed in the real world?
- Yes. Tensor Robocar 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.
- Who makes Tensor Robocar?
- Tensor Robocar is made by Tensor Auto, based in San Jose, California, USA, founded in 2016.
- Where is Tensor Robocar deployed?
- 4 verified deployments of Tensor Robocar are on the DEPLOY registry, including at San Jose, California, USA, Istanbul, Türkiye, Abu Dhabi, UAE.
- Can you buy Tensor Robocar?
- Tensor Robocar is in pilot deployments with named customers and is not yet broadly for sale.
- What are alternatives to Tensor Robocar?
- On the DEPLOY registry, comparable av robots to Tensor Robocar include Waymo Driver (6th gen), Tesla Robotaxi (Model Y ADS), Apollo RT6, Argo AI Self-Driving System.
- How does Tensor Robocar compare to Waymo Driver (6th gen)?
- Tensor Robocar and Waymo Driver (6th gen) (Waymo · 15 deployments) are both av robots on the DEPLOY registry. Tensor Robocar has 4 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.
- What is Tensor Robocar's maturity stage?
- Tensor Robocar 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.
- Is Tensor Robocar safe?
- Tensor Robocar 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.
