Avride Tops 60,000 Uber Robotaxi Rides in Dallas

Avride's autonomous vehicles have completed over 60,000 Uber passenger trips in Dallas, with the company reporting a doubled service zone and more than 1.3 million autonomous miles across its 200-plus vehicle fleet.

Avride’s autonomous vehicles have completed more than 60,000 passenger trips for Uber riders in Dallas, a milestone for the company’s commercial robotaxi service. Avride reported the figure in an operations update, alongside news that it has doubled its original Dallas service zone with plans to widen the area further in the coming months. The company says its fleet of more than 200 vehicles — spanning both research-and-development and consumer robotaxi rides — has now logged over 1.3 million autonomous miles, including 1 million driven in 2026 alone.

Scaling the Uber Partnership

Avride operates its robotaxis through Uber’s ride-hailing app, a partnership with Uber that connects the company’s fleet directly with everyday passenger demand in Dallas. The company describes its approach as steady, responsible scaling backed by continuous safety monitoring, with the doubled service zone reflecting that measured expansion.

Avride says its near-term focus is smooth integration into the city’s transit network as it works toward its next million autonomous miles.
