Zevo wants to add robotaxis to its car-share fleet, starting with newcomer Tensor

Zevo, a Dallas-based company operating an electric vehicle (EV) car-share fleet, plans to expand its offerings by adding robotaxis, starting with vehicles from the newcomer startup Tensor. Tensor, which evolved from the China-based AutoX, aims to be the first to sell fully autonomous cars to consumers by 2026. Zevo intends to purchase up to 100 of Tensor’s autonomous vehicles to integrate into its network, allowing customers to borrow these robotaxis in a decentralized car-sharing model. While details on timing and production scale remain uncertain, Zevo’s co-founder Hebron Sher sees this partnership as a strategic move to capitalize on emerging autonomous vehicle (AV) technologies and create new opportunities for peer-to-peer sharing and micro-entrepreneurship. Sher’s willingness to partner with startups like Tensor and Faraday Future—another EV company from which Zevo placed a non-binding order of 1,000 vans—stems from cost advantages and the startups’ greater flexibility in software integration.
