Customer deliveries are projected to be in the second half of 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine cruising along Jumeirah Road with your hands off the steering wheel? This is not a far-off possibility as Tensor, a Silicon Valley agentic AI company, will debut its Tensor Robocar \u2014 marketed as \u201cthe world\u2019s first personally owned Level 4 autonomous vehicle” \u2014 at the upcoming Dubai World Congress for Self-Driving Transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tensor promises Level 4 autonomy, meaning the \u2018Robocar\u2019 can operate in self-driving mode in most circumstances. The human driver, however, still has the option to manually override. \u201cIn Level 4 mode, (Robocar) handles all driving within approved zones, no supervision needed. Outside those zones, just take the wheel or switch to assisted driving for a smooth handoff between autonomy and control,\u201d Tensor advertises on its website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement sent to Le temps de Khaleej<\/em> on Thursday, Amy Luca, chief marketing officer at Tensor, said, \u201cWe are excited to bring Tensor to Dubai, a city that embodies innovation and forward thinking. This isn\u2019t a concept\u2014it is the world\u2019s first real personal Robocar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tensor Robocar will debut at Dubai World Congress for Self-Driving Transport (organised by Roads and Transport Authority) happening on September 24 and 24 at Dubai World Trade Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The futuristic Tensor Robocar is marketed as a \u201cworld-first, category-defining product.\u201d It is the size of a large SUV\u2014featuring a 124-inch wheelbase, 217.5 inches in overall length, 78.3 inches in height, and 79.9-in width (excluding side mirrors).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customer deliveries are projected to be in the second half of 2026, Tensor noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is not your average car or EV. It is an agentic robot on wheels,\u201d the company added, which means, Robocar \u201clearns perception, prediction, and planning from vast real-world and simulated datasets\u201d. Agentic AI is a class of artificial intelligence that focuses on autonomous systems that can make decisions and perform tasks with or without human intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety specs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To eliminate single points of failure, Tensor noted, \u201cRobocar features redundancy across sensors, compute, communications, drive-by-wire, power, and thermal management. Details such as washer systems for lidar and cameras, and intelligent sensor covers ensure uninterrupted visibility and resilience in Dubai\u2019s climate\u2014setting a new benchmark for automotive-grade autonomy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tensor added Robocar has more than 100 integrated sensors, including 37 cameras, 5 lidars, and 11 radars to deliver uncompromised visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt its core, Tensor\u2019s advanced electrical and electronic architecture provides full-stack redundancy (duplication of critical systems) across power, communications, and control\u2014ensuring fail-operational performance in any scenario,\u201d the company noted, adding, \u201cRadar-transparent materials, unobstructed lidar sightlines, and a low hood profile reflect a safety-first philosophy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robocar can navigate desert glare, dust, night, fog, and heavy rain. Tensor\u2019s dual-system AI mirrors human cognition, with System 1 delivering fast, reflexive responses; while System 2 uses a multimodal Visual Language Model for higher-order reasoning in rare and complex edge cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stowable steering and pedals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Self-drive \u2013 check; self-parking \u2013 check. But here\u2019s more: Robocar boasts of having \u201cthe world\u2019s first folding steering wheel and retractable pedals.\u201d When in autonomous mode, Robocar\u2019s stowable steering wheel integrates with the autonomous driving feature so there are no moving parts in the driver\u2019s seat while in L4 mode. Then, the centre screen slides over to the center view point of the driver seat, while pedals are folde, transforming the driver\u2019s seat into a spacious lounging area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other features of Tensor\u2019s ecosystem include Nvidia (onboard supercomputer, 8,000 TOPS), Sony (17-MP automotive-grade cameras), VinFast (advanced manufacturing), leading semiconductor partners, and Oracle (cloud). With Marsh, Tensor supports the world\u2019s first insurance policy for Robocars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
