Best of LinkedIn: Autonomous & Mobility Markets CW 39/ 40
Robotaxi operators moved from pilots to commercial scale commitments in Europe, the Gulf and the US, with fleet size, capital and operating models now set alongside the technology itself. Shared micromobility is maturing in parallel, as regulators move toward vehicle classification rules and operators secure debt financing and long term city contracts. Underneath both, cities and logistics players are rebuilding the infrastructure layer, from signal operations and parking to charging depots and purpose-built delivery vehicles.
