## Summary

Einride's Pod is a cabless-by-design autonomous electric freight vehicle from the Swedish maker: it has no cab or driver position at all (purpose-built, not a retrofit of a cabbed truck), operated by the Einride Driver with remote supervision. Range is about 130-180 km at up to roughly 16 tonnes, and it has been approved by NHTSA to operate on US public roads. There is no consumer price: this is B2B electric autonomous freight. The verified-vs-claimed nuance: the Pod is genuinely driverless and cabless, but operation is remote-supervised, not unsupervised autonomy. Recorded at commercial maturity.
