Operating scope

L4 robotaxi testing on Istanbul roads as a staging step before a London robotaxi application. The direction of travel is the point: a Chinese-stack, Chinese-built vehicle is announced as testing in Istanbul in order to enter a EUROPEAN market. If it proceeds, Turkey would be functioning as a proving ground on the EU's doorstep for non-European technology - the inverse of the Karsan/ADASTEC export thread. Recorded now so that the thread is datable if it materialises.
