The company says it’s “dedicated to building agentic products that empower individual consumers” and that the Tensor robocar is its flagship product. It’s likely that AutoX spunoff its US-based team as Tensor to get around government restrictions on Chinese software in vehicles. It’s not as well-known as some of the other autonomous vehicle startups in the US and China.

Its new consumer brand, Tensor, is also headquartered in San Jose, California, with satellite offices in Spain, the UAE, and Singapore.
