The pilot operates with a safety driver on board during the testing phase.\n\nThe program was announced at IAA Mobility 2021 as a commercial robotaxi partnership between Mobileye (fleet owner) and Sixt SE (planned mobility operator), with rides to be bookable through the Sixt and Moovit apps. Mobileye Drive-equipped Nio ES8s form the test fleet; Schaeffler AG participates as a technology partner. The pilot was announced to start in Munich and later expand across Germany and other European cities.\n\nSource note: January 2023 testing start is confirmed by CnEVPost citing Mobileye's German permit. Commercial passenger service status and current operational scope are unconfirmed in available sources as of the ingest date.","keyFacts":[{"label":"Test platform","value":"Nio ES8 with Mobileye Drive AV system"},{"label":"Mobility partner","value":"Sixt SE (planned commercial operator)"},{"label":"Technology partner","value":"Schaeffler AG"},{"label":"Supervision","value":"Safety driver present during pilot phase"},{"label":"Source note","value":"Road testing confirmed Jan 2023; commercial passenger service status unconfirmed"}],"reviewNote":null,"exposureHours":null,"exposureBasis":null,"customerSegment":null,"scaleTier":null,"contractValueUsd":null,"contractValueBasis":null,"customerCompanyId":null,"customerExternalName":null,"createdAt":"2026-06-11T15:12:50.023Z","updatedAt":"2026-06-12T00:12:17.197Z","model":{"id":"37a03d4e-96d6-477a-89f1-69feeb6fba03","companyId":"340a91d4-df20-47d2-b2fb-337d334b54d4","modelName":"Mobileye Drive","slug":"mobileye-drive","description":"Mobileye Drive is a full Level 4 autonomous vehicle platform integrating the EyeQ SoC, REM (Road Experience Management) crowdsourced HD mapping, and True Redundancy architecture.
