Key points
- Tensor Auto and MTZ plan to deploy up to 500 autonomous taxis in Germany under an operator-led model
- Tensor supplies Robocars and ADaaS subscription, while MTZ retains customer data and brand control
- Partners target 10,000 additional Robocars across Europe within 24 months of European availability
Beyond the initial 500-vehicle target, the partners aim to expand to 10,000 Robocars across Europe within 24 months of European availability. The Robocar is designed for both commercial and private use, featuring agentic AI for natural language interaction and automated maintenance. The deployment is contingent on definitive agreements and Level 4 regulatory approval in Germany. Tensor CEO Jay Xiao and MTZ CEO Gregor Beiner highlighted the partnership’s role in scaling autonomous mobility while maintaining service quality and data sovereignty.
