TÜV SÜD Certifies Mobileye’s AV Safety Approach for SAE Level 4

"In March 2026, TÜV SÜD, an independent certification body, issued a formal recommendation for Mobileye's Safety Management System (SMS) for SAE Level 4 autonomous systems. This recommendation reflects an independent assessment of Mobileye's safety governance approach and represents a meaningful step toward meeting the standards required for broader autonomous vehicle deployment."

To be clear, I don't think this means that Mobileye's L4 is safe for deployment yet, it is just certifying Mobileye's safety approach. Essentially, TUV SUD certified that Mobileye meets the standards for how to validate safety. But this does add confidence that Mobileye has a good and rigorous approach for validating L4 safety and therefore that the L4 will be safe enough when it does get deployed.

"Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.’s affiliated operating company, Oro Mobility, and Uber Technologies, Inc. today announced two strategic fleet partnerships, accelerating Hertz’s growth into new mobility vectors and advancing Uber’s autonomous robotaxi and driver-led strategic fleet services."

"Oro will support Uber’s autonomous robotaxi program of Lucid vehicles equipped with Nuro AV technology, providing day-to-day vehicle asset management, including charging, maintenance, repairs, cleaning, and depot staffing. Services are expected to launch in the San Francisco Bay Area later this year, as Hertz and Uber explore expansion opportunities in 2027."

"Oro has also partnered with Uber to offer strategic fleet services on the Uber platform, utilizing a fleet of high-quality, well‑maintained vehicles operated by Oro‑employed drivers. The model better enables Uber to meet increasing rider demand with a seamless customer experience, while demonstrating Hertz’s ability to deliver turnkey fleet solutions at scale. Following a successful pilot in Atlanta last year, Oro is now also active on the Uber platform in Los Angeles and San Francisco, with Northern New Jersey expected to launch this spring."
