Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Track; not yet

Why
Compute and ecosystem are mature and very active, but the platform is a sensor-rich automotive reference design well outside pv's web/agent scope; top safety cert is still pending and flagship L4 deployments are not yet live.
Next
Monitor the DriveOS 6.0 ASIL D certification release and whether the Uber/Autobrains Munich Hyperion robotaxi program clears regulatory approval and begins operation as the first at-scale L4 proof point before any integration assumption.
