ZEVO wants to add Robotaxis to its car-sharing fleet, starting with newcomer Tensor

Driverless cars are no longer limited to the realm of sci-fi for companies like waymo are working on robotaxi services in many cities. And some automakers, big and small, are trying to bring the same level of autonomy to people’s vehicles over the next few years.

If so, what kind of things can you do personally? Maybe you will be able to send to get food or run errands – hope a A company called AutolaneSee rank-. Or, if you are Tesla CEO Elon Musk, you think that the owners want to put their cars out into the world to offer them to others, making them beautiful, almost useless.

Hebron Sher, co-founder of Dallas-based zevo, is eager to capitalize on all of the above. The company has Fleet operation ev-only, cars For a little over a year, and now adding robotxis, starting with a new company called tensor.

Teneror is a strange breed of duck. Beginning Sort of popped up earlier this year From the China-based company previously called Autox, and boldly asserting that it will be the first to sell autonomous cars to ordinary consumers – in 2026, no less. ZEVE says it will buy up to 100 Teneror cars and add them to its network.

There’s no telling how long it will take, and Tensor still needs to show that it can build a car with the scale and reliability that a lot of reliability has been pushing for years. If it works, zaji customers will definitely be able to borrow Avs tensors in what is a service Robotaxi solves.

The announcement is similar to the last big promise made decades ago, when self-driving cars were made. But with real robotics on the road today, the idea is taking shape little more real this time.

“Teneror’s vision is to build an intelligence that has its own public intelligence – a personal intelligence that frees time, freedom and autonomy,” Hugo Fozzati, Tensor’s business officer, said. “For us, this partnership with zevo is not only about selling vehicles, but also allows individuals and micro-entrepreneurs to participate and profit from the AV business in this era.”

It wouldn’t be Sher’s first bet in an ill-fitting company. In October, zeo announced an order that did not bind 1,000 vans from Unpredictable money ev start, FaradSee rank-. Faraday, which has struggled for decades to build and sell its flagship FF91 luxury SUV, recently imported a more affordable electric van from the US that should be assembled this month.

Sher’s desire to be selective about the company comes from two reasons. For one thing: TENSOR and FARAYS MUTRIE have impeccable track records, and cannot cut a good deal. More importantly, Sher said, the company is more willing than the major OEMs to integrate vehicle software — an important factor if you’re going to share it peer-to-peer, especially Robotaxis.

Not only is it difficult to get legacy automakers to be flexible, but Sher says that “technology sucks”. With the new entrants, he said, “The synergy of Startups and Startups, Sort of Mingling, then say, ‘Come on, create a solution that really likes the experience.'”

Sher painted the tensor deal as a win for the company: Tensor found early customers and shot to prove that robotocars were real and could deliver on their promises; Zevo gets deals and deep software integrations.

However, he acknowledged the “calculated risk.”

“I think that’s what makes America great, you know, the fact that we encourage startups to take risks,” he said.
