Zevo Bets on Tensor's Autonomous Future for Robotaxis
12 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Zevo plans to purchase up to 100 autonomous cars from startup Tensor.
- Tensor aims to be the first to sell fully autonomous cars to consumers in 2026.
- Zevo seeks deep software integration, preferring startups over legacy automakers.
Companies are increasingly making driverless car technology a reality, with services like Waymo already operating commercially. Now, startups like Tensor are aiming to bring fully autonomous vehicles to personal ownership, with a bold target of consumer sales in 2026.
Zevo, an electric vehicle-only car-share company, has announced plans to purchase up to 100 of Tensor's autonomous vehicles. This move aims to integrate these cars into a decentralized robotaxi service, allowing customers to utilize them for various purposes, potentially including ride-sharing.
Zevo's CEO, Hebron Sher, explains this strategic partnership stems from startups' flexibility in software integration, a key element for peer-to-peer sharing. Despite the calculated risks involved with unproven companies, Sher believes this approach fosters innovation and allows Zevo to build solutions collaboratively.
