The two companies signed a letter of intent, announced at the Madrid Autonomous Mobility Summit. The fleet depends on final agreements and on Germany approving Level 4 driving, where the car drives itself without a human at the wheel in set conditions. MTZ would run the service under its own brand, keeping its fleet, customers and data, while Tensor sells the Robocar and charges a subscription for its driving software and fleet tools. The partners also aim to place 10,000 more Robocars with other European taxi and fleet operators within 24 months of the car's European availability. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
