Avride

Avride develops and operates autonomous vehicles and delivery robots, building a shared autonomous driving platform that serves both mobility and logistics. Founded in 2020 by a group of engineers, many of whom spent years working on autonomous driving at Yandex, the company employs hundreds of engineers and applies its technology across multiple countries.

The company maintains two main product lines that share a common technological base: self-driving cars, developed and operated globally, and autonomous delivery robots, which have completed more than 600,000 deliveries. Advances made for one platform are transferred to the other, allowing the car and robot teams to benefit from each other's progress. In Dallas, Avride has launched an autonomous taxi service in partnership with Uber, taking the technology into everyday consumer use.

Avride works across several industry verticals, including autonomous transportation, ride-hailing, last-mile delivery, logistics and mobility. The company states a long-term goal of making roads safer and more accessible through autonomous transportation.
