In China and the United States, private fleets of "robotaxis" -- driverless cars loaded with sensors -- more than doubled in 2025 to reach 8,000 vehicles across more than two dozen major cities, according to a May report by the International Energy Agency (IEA).
Seven years behind schedule, trials will finally start across Europe over the coming months.
