Question 1

What SAE autonomy levels are covered in the Autonomous Vehicle category?

Accepted Answer

Robolist tracks vehicles operating at SAE Level 3 (conditional automation — driver must respond to handoff requests) through L4 (high automation — no human fallback within the operational design domain). Most listed vehicles are L4 platforms operating in geofenced urban or highway corridors. L5 (full automation in all conditions) has no commercial deployment yet and is not currently listed.

Question 2

How are deployment and regulatory approvals sourced and verified?

Accepted Answer

Deployment data and regulatory approvals are web-aggregated from manufacturer press releases, regulatory filings (California DMV AV permit lists, NHTSA petitions, CAAC road-test permits), and trade reporting. Where multiple sources agree, data is labelled as verified; where a single source makes an unconfirmed claim, the price or deployment figure carries an "Unverified" triangle label. Robolist is not a licensing authority — always confirm active permits directly with the manufacturer before procurement.

Question 3

What is the difference between robotaxis and AV trucks or delivery vans on this list?

Accepted Answer

Robotaxis are passenger-carrying AVs operating commercial ride-hailing services (Waymo One, Zoox, WeRide). AV trucks are Class 6–8 freight vehicles for highway and last-mile logistics (Einride Vera, Torc XL, Aurora Driver platform). Driverless delivery vans are small-to-mid-size cargo vehicles for on-road goods delivery (Nuro R3, Neolix). All three share the same Autonomous Vehicle category because they are governed by the same SAE L3/L4 autonomy framework and buyer evaluation criteria — sensor suite, ODD, and regulatory approval.

Question 4

Are consumer self-driving cars like Tesla Full Self-Driving listed here?

Accepted Answer

No. Robolist covers commercial robot platforms and autonomous vehicle systems sold or operated as B2B products — robotaxis, freight trucks, and driverless delivery vans. Consumer automobiles with driver-assist features (Tesla FSD, GM Super Cruise, Ford BlueCruise) are L2/L2+ systems that require continuous driver supervision and fall outside the directory's scope. Only vehicles with a distinct SAE L4 autonomous mode in a defined ODD, or commercially deployed as a fleet product, are listed.
