The future of rideshare transportation is here — but no, the cars aren't flying yet. Uber, in partnership with a company that specializes in autonomous vehicles, just launched its first service area in Texas.

On Wednesday, Uber announced that it will be launching fully autonomous robotaxis as part of its rideshare service. At launch, the robotaxis will be available in a 9-square-mile area from downtown to uptown Dallas, Turtle Creek, and Deep Ellum.

'We're proving how AVs and drivers can work side by side to make transportation more convenient, sustainable, and affordable for people everywhere.'

Avride, a self-described leader in the autonomous vehicle and delivery robot industries, modified Hyundai Ioniq 5 models to convert them to robotaxis.
