CES 2026: Tensor unveils Level 4 'supercomputer-on-wheels' robocar

At CES 2026, Tensor unveiled its Robocar, a Level 4 autonomous vehicle designed from the ground up as an AI-first “supercomputer on wheels.” Unlike conventional electric vehicles retrofitted with autonomy, Tensor’s Robocar integrates compute, sensors, steering, braking, and charging into a unified autonomy stack. Powered by eight NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor system-on-chips delivering over 8,000 TOPS of GPU computing power, the vehicle processes vast sensor data in real time, effectively functioning as a rolling data center. The SUV-sized platform features a drag coefficient of 0.253 and employs a dual-lidar system (Halo and Sentinel) alongside radar, cameras, and microphones to provide layered, redundant perception focused on contextual understanding for complex driving environments. Safety and redundancy are central to the design, with fully redundant steer-by-wire and brake-by-wire systems developed in partnership with ZF and Bosch, eliminating mechanical single points of failure. The Robocar supports autonomous ultra-fast charging, capable
