Tensor Robocar: Luxury Autonomy Redefined

Tensor Auto has revealed its Robocar, a personal autonomous electric vehicle designed for Level 4 driving, at CES 2026. Unlike retrofitted autonomous vehicles, the Robocar was conceived as an autonomous system first, then enhanced for ownership appeal. It functions as an agentic vehicle, capable of proactive communication and context-aware decision-making, leveraging insights from Tensor's robotaxi development background.

The Robocar showcases a sleek, aerodynamic design with extensive sensor integration, including five LiDAR units, over a dozen cameras, and radar, all processed onboard using Nvidia hardware. The interior offers a dual-purpose experience, supporting both manual and full autonomous modes with a unique foldable steering wheel. This feature retracts completely in autonomous mode, creating an open cabin environment.

Emphasizing luxury, the Robocar features massage seats, a Dolby Atmos sound system, and spacious seating, providing a relaxed, lounge-like atmosphere. While pricing remains undisclosed, Tensor acknowledges it will be positioned at the high end of the market. The company plans to ramp up production in the second half of 2026, signaling a significant step towards private ownership of advanced autonomous vehicles.
