Here's a list of robotaxi companies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robotaxi#Testing_and_revenue_s..., some of them operational, Level 4.
I would be very surprised of any of them use AI vision without Lidars. That's what my point is about, Tesla is lagging behind. Wake me up when it gets Level 4 certification.
