Beyond 30,000 Autonomous Vehicles: Navigating Toward City-Scale Physical AI

Having scaled low-speed commercial vehicles past tens of thousands of deployed units, autonomous driving companies are shifting focus toward city-scale physical AI. The technical objective expands beyond local curb-space navigation into orchestrating urban logistics and complex multi-agent coordination. As high-frequency operational data accumulates on city streets, real-world robotic fleets are gradually evolving into an active testbed for large-scale physical foundation models.
