Daimler is testing robotaxis in the U.S. despite new CEO Ola Kallenius saying that the automaker will "rightsize" its spending level on self-driving technologies. Daimler's autonomous-driving technology will more likely be apply to commercial vehicles for freight companies on long haul routes than taxis, Kallenius told journalists at the company's investor day in London last month. The company has started robotaxi tests in California to gather user feedback, sources familiar with the matter told Automotive News Europe. "We have not put the project on ice. We are looking at where we can improve efficiency and gain synergies so we don't unnecessarily duplicate or triplicate our development work," said one of the sources.
