Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-09-30

Consider Wuhan service only for trips within currently authorized operating conditions.

Why
Large-scale deployment is established, but the March fleet shutdown and subsequent restricted return weaken confidence in operational resilience.
Next
Confirm current service availability and seek published incident findings, remediation evidence and post-return reliability data before expanding reliance.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Fleet-wide failure can strand passengers in moving traffic.
  • Publicly inspectable incident remediation and post-return reliability evidence remain limited.
  • Current driverless coverage and operating conditions require confirmation.
