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, Istanbul, Türkiye, Abu Dhabi.
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), Zoox Robotaxi, Tesla Robotaxi (Model Y ADS), May Mobility Autonomous Sienna.
How does Tensor Robocar compare to Waymo Driver (6th gen)?
Tensor Robocar and Waymo Driver (6th gen) (Waymo · 52 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.
Is Tensor Robocar a top av?
On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, safety, adoption, media, and IP signals, Tensor Robocar ranks in roughly the top 46% of av models tracked by the registry.
What is Tensor Robocar's maturity stage?
