Uber and Avride Partner To Offer Robotaxis and Robot Meal Deliveries in Dallas
by David Seeley | Oct 3, 2024
With Cruise robotaxis already being tested in Dallas, more autonomous innovation is on the way to the city in 2024 and 2025 via a partnership between Uber and Austin-based Avride.

Recently granted to GM Cruise Holdings and invented by Dallas’s Clifton Trigg Hutchinson, the patent describes a system for dynamically dispatching autonomous vehicles. This technology enables real-time route adjustments based on user location updates, enhancing urban transport efficiency.
