Deployment
Avride Robotaxi (Hyundai Ioniq 5) at Jersey City
Avride's robotaxi — a fully-electric Hyundai Ioniq 5 equipped with Avride's automated driving system (ADS). Provides public passenger rides integrated into the Uber ride-hailing platform in Dallas and Austin, Texas, with an in-vehicle safety operator present. Most reported crashes occurred at speeds below 20 mph. Avride separately operates a fleet of sidewalk delivery robots (a distinct, smaller cooler-sized form factor) for Uber Eats and Grubhub.

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.)
