A new rating system for global autopilot companies has brought more intuitive horizontal comparisons to robotic taxi tracks. TechCrunch reports that Automy AI released a new index this week in an attempt to keep track of the commercialization of businesses with open data.

100 Degrees Apollo Go tentatively first

The “Road to Autonomy Index” covers robotic taxis, auto-driving authorization companies, auto-driving trucks and distribution robots in four directions. The ratings are based on operational size, revenue, business cooperation, manufacturing capacity and security records, updated every 12 hours.

According to the latest results, in the robotic taxi category, Apollo Go was slightly higher than Waymo in the 100-degree flag, followed by Pony.ai and WeRide, Tesla in the fifth place. The report found that, with the global calibre, Chinese companies were in the forefront of their overall ranking in a number of subdivisions.

Texan fleet continues to expand.

TechCrunch also refers to the latest data on the U.S. auto-driving vehicle tracking tool. In recent months, companies have increased their local registration of vehicles, but this does not mean that all vehicles have entered the fee-paying operational phase.

  • Waymo from 577 to 620
  • Tesla increased from 42 to 69
  • Zoox increased from 35 to 43

Of these, Waymo grew by about 7.5% and Tesla increased by 64%. The registrations for Avride, Nuro and MOIA under the public flag were maintained at 317, 47 and 12, respectively. It was also mentioned that Zoox was not currently granted federal immunity and was therefore temporarily unable to charge passengers.

Cooperation expansion coexists with security issues

At the industry level, Stellantis, Wayve and Uber have worked together to develop and deploy unmanned robot taxis. Uber also plans to launch a high-end robot taxi service in Houston by mid-2027. This will be the second United States market after its cooperation with Lucid and Nuro.

Mobileye is also extending to the operational end. The company plans to launch robot taxi services in an American city in 2027. In terms of financing, Cargofy completed $11 million A Round Finance, and XDOF received $7 million in financing.

However, security and compliance issues remain on track. Waymo has called back close to 4000 robotic taxis to prevent them from entering the closed section of the highway. It was reported that Waymo had found at least 13 relevant cases and that the corresponding software rehabilitation programme was still under development.

Additional information:For its part, the San Francisco International Airport indicated to TechCrunch that Tesla had been granted a protocol car operating permit, but that the permit applied only to manned vehicles and did not include any automatic driving.
