Move over Tesla and Waymo, here comes Tensor

While Tesla tries to show it’s just as good as Waymo, a Silicon Valley startup called Tensor claims to have eclipsed them both with the “Earth’s first personal Robocar.”

Tensor’s ADAS Level 4 drive operates within an electronic geofence. 

Once fenced in, it is “mind off, eyes off, hands off,” Hugo Fozzati, Tensor’s chief business officer, told Business Insider, and Tensor takes legal responsibility for what happens.


The car has 37 cameras, five lidars, 11 radars, 22 microphones and 10 ultrasonic sensors.


The car’s computer is said to be capable of  8,000 TOPS  containing eight NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor chips built on the  Blackwell GPU architecture, with each Thor chip delivering up to 2,000 TOPS with sparsity (1,000 TOPS without), for a total of 8,000 TOPS.

The plan is to sell the car in Dubai first next year and then sell it in the US and Europe in 2027.
