Zevo wants to add robotaxis to car-share fleet, starting with newcomer Tensor (techcrunch.com)

Dallas-based Zevo, a company specializing in electric vehicle (EV) car-sharing, is set to enhance its fleet with the addition of robotaxis provided by the startup Tensor. Tensor, which originated from a previous company known as AutoX, aims to deliver fully autonomous vehicles to regular consumers by 2026. This collaboration signifies a step toward a decentralized robotaxi service, allowing Zevo customers to borrow Tensor's autonomous vehicles for various tasks, from errands to potential side hustles. While the optimism surrounding self-driving cars has been tempered by past overpromises, the ongoing deployment of commercial robotaxi services by companies like Waymo lends credibility to Tensor's ambitious goals. The partnership not only enhances Zevo's service offerings but also reflects a growing trend where individuals might leverage autonomous driving technology for personal and entrepreneurial gains in the AI era.
