What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
Most credible production-engineering posture (electric, real manufacturing, Hyundai backing, automotive-supply-chain design), but real factory-line value is a 2028 timeline and 2026 customers are captive partners; production readiness leads deployment-proof readiness.
Next
Monitor the 2026 RMAC + DeepMind deployment results and the early-2027 customer expansion; reassess once non-captive third-party deployments and quantified autonomy metrics appear.
