Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, Avride builds both autonomous passenger vehicles and sidewalk delivery robots on a unified technology stack. The company’s robots have already completed hundreds of thousands of restaurant deliveries in Jersey City, Austin, Dallas, and other locations through an integration with Uber Eats. Avride is now preparing to introduce a robotaxi service on the Uber app in Dallas by the end of 2025, extending its reach from last-mile logistics to passenger mobility. By operating across both domains, Avride leverages cross-domain data to continually refine its AI-based perception, navigation, and control software. The firm maintains global R&D hubs focused on advancing these core systems. New capital is earmarked to scale the autonomous fleet, accelerate product development, and expand into additional U.S. and international markets. Management positions Avride as a catalyst for transforming city transportation for both people and goods.
