Avride

Avride (operating at avride.ai) is an autonomous vehicle and delivery robotics platform engineered for scalable urban mobility and logistics. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Austin, TX, Avride specializes in developing and deploying self-driving cars and delivery robots, addressing the inefficiencies of traditional transportation and last-mile delivery systems. Under the hood, the company leverages advanced vehicular automation technology, including AI-driven perception systems and robotic control algorithms, to enable fully autonomous operations. This allows urban operators and logistics providers to reduce operational costs, enhance delivery speed, and improve sustainability by cutting emissions. Backed by a strategic investment of up to $375 million, including commitments from Uber and Nebius, Avride is positioned to accelerate its global expansion with a fleet already surpassing 100,000 autonomous rides and growing to over 200 vehicles.
