New York City—a place of relentless motion, iconic landmarks, and a trailblazing spirit. This is a city that doesn't just embrace the future; it creates it. So it was only fitting that Tensor brought its own vision for the future of transportation directly to the heart of Manhattan.
From the glowing screens of Times Square to the halls of a major tech conference, we introduced the Tensor Robocar to one of the world's most demanding audiences. The reaction wasn't just positive—it was next-level.

In a moment that made our entire team stop and stare, we said "Hello, World" to the crowds in Times Square. Our message of "Own Your Autonomy" lit up the iconic NASDAQ digital billboard, capturing the attention and imagination of thousands of New Yorkers and visitors. The sheer scale and energy of the moment were a perfect match for the transformative technology we're building. This wasn't just an advertisement; it was a statement that the future of personal mobility is no longer a distant dream, but a tangible reality ready to define a new era.
We brought the Tensor Robocar to the Citi Technology Conference at the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan. For two days, we opened our doors to industry leaders, tech enthusiasts, and media. The response was overwhelming. The retractable steering wheel, the sleek, sensor-integrated design, and the seamless user experience captivated everyone who came by.
What resonated most, however, was our core philosophy: the Tensor Robocar is more than a car. It is a personal AI agent built to empower you, prioritizing your privacy and freedom. This message struck a chord with an audience that understands the deep-seated implications of data ownership and true autonomy.
The sentiment from the event was captured perfectly by a writer for The Knockturnal, who experienced the Tensor Robocar firsthand. Their words resonate with our mission to push past mere innovation and into a new reality.
Walking away from the showing of the vehicle, I realized I wasn’t just impressed—I was unsettled, in the best possible way. We’ve been promised the “car of the future” for decades, usually in the form of flashy prototypes or concepts that never survive contact with reality. Tensor’s Robocar doesn’t feel like a concept. It feels like the first production vehicle of a new era, one that will redefine not just how we move, but what it means to truly own a machine in the age of autonomy.
This is the very essence of what we're building. Not a concept car, but a fully-realized vehicle ready to enter a new epoch. We believe that true autonomy should be owned, and New York's response confirms that the world is ready to embrace this future.
