Robotaxis
Passenger-side autonomous vehicles operating under NHTSA + state-DMV regulation.
Robotaxis are passenger-side autonomous vehicles, distinct from autonomous trucks (FMCSA freight regime, tracked separately at /trucks). DEPLOY treats this category with full editorial depth: every active commercial deployment carries a verifiable named-city operating record. Incident records carry NHTSA citations where applicable; the verified-vs-claimed framework reads ride counts, incident response time, and operator-disclosed safety drivers.
