October 2025 reporting described plans to show Cybercab at a November exhibition in Shanghai.
Collective perspective
International displays can help a manufacturer introduce a product and understand interest. They do not establish local certification, service permissions or the terms on which vehicles could be operated by a third party.
Our view is to welcome signals of international attention without collapsing the steps between exhibition and deployment. A future collective considering another country would need a local operating analysis, including infrastructure and commercial arrangements. The presence of a vehicle at an event is a visibility milestone; the availability of a lawful, supported fleet business is a separate question.
