Registry/Robotaxis
Category
Robotaxis
DEPLOY tracks 107 makers (including Waymo, Mobileye, and Cruise), 114 models, and 308 deployments on the record, most recently Ojai at San Francisco, California, USA. 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.
Featured deployments
Waymo San Francisco
The canonical robotaxi-at-scale deployment in 2026. From August 2023 commercial permit through May 2026, Waymo SF grew to 800+ Bay Area vehicles, 24/7 service, freeway operation, and a ~500,000 weekly-rides total across the program.
Tesla Robotaxi Austin
The most-watched and most-claimed-about robotaxi deployment in the United States, launched June 22, 2025. The canonical reference for what verified-vs-claimed means as a discipline applied to physical-AI deployment data.
Apollo Go Wuhan
The largest single-city robotaxi deployment in the world (1,000+ vehicles, 24/7 fully driverless), and the site of the first publicly-documented fleet-wide system failure in a commercial robotaxi service (March 31, 2026). Scale and failure modes, both at full operational visibility.
