- Deployment Notes
- [stage: limited-commercial] Bot Auto said it had already been hauling freight in Texas before its first humanless hub-to-hub validation run, and it described prior operations between Houston and San Antonio with a safety driver in the cab. As of the cited 2026 reporting, the company said the humanless run had no one in the cab and no remote assistance, but the sources do not confirm a broad multi-city public service, fleet size, or that safety drivers are still present in current operations.
