Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Consider available rides within the published service area.

Why
Sixth-generation vehicles are entering public service, while their long-term safety and broader operating capability remain less independently established.
Next
Check access and route restrictions, and monitor generation-specific safety results as exposure grows.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Limited generation-specific independent safety evidence
  • Invitation-based access and restricted service geography
  • Operating-domain and weather restrictions
  • Fleet and vehicle-supply scaling
