Martı to Launch AI-Powered Self-Driving Shared Vehicles in Turkey

Martı, a prominent mobility provider operating in 20 Turkish cities, is set to introduce a new era of transportation with the integration of AI-powered, self-driving shared vehicles. The company announced a strategic partnership with Tensor, a Silicon Valley-based firm specializing in Level 4 autonomous vehicle technology.

Tensor, established in 2016, has been developing autonomous vehicles designed for both individual ownership and professional fleet operations. The company holds one of the earliest permits in California for testing fully driverless passenger vehicles. In August 2025, Tensor unveiled its "Robocar," a personal autonomous vehicle platform that can also function for fleet operations thanks to its built-in ride-sharing features.

As Martı, we have pioneered bringing technology-focused transportation solutions to users in Turkey to date. Through this strategic partnership with Tensor, we aim to offer our users self-driving shared vehicles powered by artificial intelligence. We believe that AI and autonomous driving technologies will shape the future of urban transportation.

Oğuz Alper Öktem, founder of Martı, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, "Through this strategic partnership with Tensor, we aim to offer our users self-driving shared vehicles powered by artificial intelligence. We believe that AI and autonomous driving technologies will shape the future of urban transportation."

Dr. Jay Xiao, CEO of Tensor, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the partnership's significance in expanding autonomous driving technology to a broader audience.
