Webinar: The Full-Scale Challenges of Scaling Robotaxis

Join us tomorrow for a timely webinar on optimizing robotaxi operations.

June 30, 2025

Scaling robotaxi fleets isn’t just about nailing autonomy software—it’s about solving a full-stack systems challenge. Land use. Power availability. Operational uptime. Infrastructure timelines. Regulatory risk. Every detail compounds when you're aiming to put thousands of vehicles on the road, not just dozens.

Join us tomorrow, July 1, at 10AM Pacific for an unfiltered, expert-driven conversation: “The Full-Scale Challenges of Scaling Robotaxis: Operational and Charging Realities.”

💡 What We’ll Cover:

I. Operational Foundations

  • What’s the full stack of needs to run an urban robotaxi fleet—from land and permitting to power and ongoing uptime?
  • What are the daily operational realities of depot life?

II. Infrastructure Timing & Bottlenecks

  • Why infrastructure—not software—is often the gating factor for market entry.
  • Realistic timelines for permitting, zoning, and grid upgrades.

III. Site Selection & Tradeoffs

  • What makes an ideal site—and why perfection is rare.
  • Tradeoffs between location, grid access, and cost.
  • How competition for high-capacity urban sites is playing out in the field.

IV. Charging vs. Swapping & Global Lessons

  • What U.S. operators can learn from China’s battery swapping models.
  • Whether today’s infrastructure stack can flex to future formats.

V. Uptime & Operational Complexity

  • The most underestimated realities of running a high-availability fleet.
  • Where pain points show up after launch—cleaning, servicing, staffing, and more.

VI. What Needs to Change

  • The blind spots the industry needs to address now, before scale becomes stagnation.
