Depot cell
Bay One — depot interior-cleaning cell
Bay One is Yardline’s fixed-bay interior cleaning cell for fleet depots. The vehicle drives onto a marked pad, becomes the workpiece, and leaves clean. Nothing rides inside the car.

Cabin
Named zones, pre-aimed paths
The first target cabin is a two-seat, flat-floor robotaxi with butterfly doors and identical geometry across the fleet. Because that shape does not change, cleaning paths are pre-aimed at named zones (footwells, seat pans, sills, cupholders). Cameras score dirt and flag left-behind items; they do not rebuild the cabin map every night. Swap the zone file and the same bay can serve another fleet vehicle type. That file is the product.

Marked pad
Drives on. Leaves clean. Empty cabin.
How a cycle runs
Clean first, not a between-ride sprint
Design target is an end-of-day quality clean of about ten minutes per vehicle — clean first, not a between-ride sprint. A faster express pass on the same hardware is a later software mode, not a second machine.
- 01
Doors open.
- 02
Blowers and a downdraft grate move dry debris (sand, crumbs, hair) out of the cabin.
- 03
Shop-grade extractors pull through nozzles aimed at the high-dirt zones.
- 04
No one enters the bay while the cycle runs.
- 05
A short human glance at the sill handles phones, bags, and a screen wipe if needed.
Fit
Overnight and shoulder shifts
Sized for depot throughput in the 40–60 vehicles per bay per day range when run as overnight and shoulder shifts.
Prototype path
Shop-buildable first
Prototype path is shop-buildable (grated pad, electric blowers, industrial dust collector, hanging nozzles) so a yard can prove sand capture before buying industrial iron. Production keeps the same architecture with heavier collectors and a fixed comb plate.
Open
Cell design is not the yard
Site selection, utility, and local permitting for a fenced commercial bay are separate from the cell design. Cabin geometry used for layout is estimated from public sources until a production unit can be measured on a pad.
What it is not
Independent depot kit
Bay One is not a Tesla product, not a Tesla-affiliated service, and not access to any OEM robotaxi network. Yardline builds depot infrastructure for ordinary fleet yards in Southwest Florida, with AV-capable layout as upside. Third-party ownership and network access for purpose-built robotaxis remain operator- and regulator-dependent.
