Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Track; not yet

Why
Real public service with 350,000+ riders and ~2M autonomous miles shows genuine operational maturity, but a third recall in eight months and pre-revenue status mark it as still-stabilizing; it is also far outside pv's commerce/agent domain — a sector signal only.
Next
Watch for the early-2026 paid-ride approval in Las Vegas and whether the Dec 2025 lane-crossing recall fix holds without further NHTSA actions before treating it as a stable commercial benchmark.
