- Deployment Notes
- [stage: limited-commercial] As of 2026, Toyota says e-Palette is on sale in Japan and can support Level 2 automated driving natively, with a Level 4 automated-driving kit planned for fiscal 2027. Current operations are limited to controlled deployments and demonstrations in Japan, including Woven City, TOYOTA ARENA TOKYO area plans, and a factory shuttle service that uses an autonomous vehicle operator/safety supervisor rather than fully driverless public service.
