Operator: Avride with Uber Eats. Avride sidewalk delivery robots (cooler-sized, distinct from the Ioniq 5 robotaxi) operate in Jersey City, New Jersey; introduced February 2025, the first East Coast city to offer Uber 'delivery by robot.' Site of the October 22, 2025 cyclist injury (see incident).
NOTE: linked to the Avride model record as the operator's delivery program; the delivery bots are a different form factor than the robotaxi but share the operator. (If a distinct delivery-bot model is later created, repoint this deployment.)
