Autonomous Vehicles (self-driving testing, deployment, robotaxi service)
Regulated market (california dmv av testing / deployment permits, cpuc av passenger service permits). The Kin Score Market layer reads each provider in its market: who it integrates with, how deep those integrations go, and where the market publishes its own structure. Methodology.
Where this market publishes its structure
- California DMV Autonomous Vehicle permit holders (dmv.ca.gov) machine-readable, testing w/ driver 26 (as of 2026-09-17), driverless 7 (2026-04-03), deployment 4 (2025-11-21); 28 entities; 8 in-market linked
- CPUC Autonomous Vehicle Program Permits Issued (cpuc.ca.gov) machine-readable, 10 permits, 5 carriers; 4 linked (Tensor Auto unlinked)
- NHTSA AV TEST initiative / tracking tool (nhtsa.gov) not machine-readable: Access Denied at the Akamai edge to plain and browser fetches (bot block; not passed)
- China / other national AV permit lists not machine-readable: Beijing / Shenzhen / Wuhan permits are press releases, no machine-readable register; no other US state publishes a structured list
Own = declares at least one integration itself; covered = visible only because an aggregator, standards body, regulator or partner contract names it; distribution-only = listed only on cloud marketplaces it sells through, a channel reported beside, never counted as its own declared integrations; undeclared = nothing we can read, so no number; declares_compatibility = providers with a `compatible` shape vote, report only (kin, 2026-10-13): never counted as own, never in depth or position.
Taxonomy how this market maps onto apis.io
Derived 2026-10-21 from the 99 providers in this market we could resolve in the catalog. The percentage is the share of those providers carrying each one; it describes the market, not the tag or industry. Tag groups have no page of their own yet, so they are listed unlinked.
| Tags | Autonomous Vehicles 86%, Robotics 56%, Automotive 24%, Logistics 23%, Transportation 21%, Mobility 21% |

| Tag groups | Autonomous Vehicles 92%, Logistics 63%, Robotics 63% |
| Industries | Robotics & Autonomous Systems 100%, Mobility & Fleet 41%, Artificial Intelligence 35%, Supply Chain & Procurement 27%, Automotive 24%, Logistics 23% |
share of resolved cohort carrying it; tags >=0.20 & >=3 members (max 12, junk dropped), tag_groups >=0.20 (cooccurrence, non-cross-cutting; max 8), industries >=0.20 (max 6), areas >=0.10 (max 6; areas are keyword-matched and sparse), capabilities L1 >=0.20 (max 8); derive-market-taxonomy.py
Leaders by position (provisional)
Provisional: grouped by position, depth compared within a position only. Distribution (cloud marketplaces) and iPaaS bridges are counted beside position, never inside it. Unknown-builder listings are left out of position shares and counted here.
