(CLO) The self-driving car market is currently experiencing significant growth, primarily driven by Level 4 robotaxies and commercial autonomous trucks, while the market for personal vehicles remains limited. Công Luận•01/09/2026 The self-driving car market is entering a real growth phase with millions of automated rides per week performed by robotaxi services and commercial autonomous trucks, although the proportion of self-driving personal vehicles remains very small compared to the total number of vehicles. The current self-driving vehicle market is primarily developing in the Level 4 commercial segment, including robotaxies and autonomous trucks, while personal vehicles with Level 3 autonomous systems still account for a very small percentage. Robotaxi services have progressed through the testing phase, with Waymo completing over 500,000 autonomous rides per week and Apollo Go peaking at over 350,000 rides, totaling approximately one million rides per week globally. However, compared to the traditional transportation market, the market share of self-driving cars remains very small. For example, Uber handles nearly 300 million trips per week, of which self-driving cars account for less than 0.5%. This shows rapid growth but starting from a very low scale. The US and China have different approaches to developing self-driving cars. The US has Waymo as the largest commercial operator, while China has many competitors such as Apollo Go, Pony.ai, and WeRide with significant fleet sizes and revenues. Chinese companies have also made strides in reducing the cost of self-driving hardware by 50% to 70%. Fleet economics is becoming as important as autonomous driving performance. Pony.ai reports that some of its seventh-generation robotaxis have reached break-even in the cities of Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Meanwhile, autonomous trucks have also crossed a crucial commercial threshold, with Aurora completing hundreds of thousands of miles of unmanned transport, although revenue and vehicle numbers are still small compared to the
