Einride autonomous pods

1. 5

   Regulator-cleared or mass marketThis robot

   A regulator has cleared it where approval applies: FDA clearance or approval for a medical robot, a permit to run with no one aboard for a self-driving vehicle, or an FAA approval for routine drone flights. Or: Widely sold: sales in the hundreds of thousands, or a product category you can buy in ordinary shops.

   Placed by: The US road-safety agency NHTSA cleared the Einride Pod, which has no space for a driver, to run on public roads, starting near a GE Appliances site in Kentucky (23 June 2022); Sweden's transport agency allowed Einride's T-pod onto a short stretch of public road in an industrial area, for work with DB Schenker in Jönköping (March 2019).
