In a first phase the cars will be driven by people to build high-precision maps; they will later move to autonomous mode with a safety specialist at the wheel. The fleet will be small and the company has not given figures. The goal is to carry passengers in 2027, though it still needs a passenger transport authorization from the Community of Madrid.
