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. Uber and Uber Eats customers may have the option to select a robotaxi for their next ride across town or a sidewalk robot to roll their favorite restaurant order home.

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.

The moves stem from an incident in San Francisco on October 2 and the company's response to it.

Double takes abounded in Dallas Friday. San Francisco-based Cruise began testing its robotaxis in the city without a human behind the wheel. For now, company employees are along for the ride in the back seat of "under 10" robotaxis in the last stage of testing before the service is opened to the public.
