SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) today announced that Dallas riders can now be matched with an Avride robotaxi, unlocking a brand-new way to ride with Uber.
The service will be available throughout 9 square miles of Dallas–from Downtown to Uptown to Turtle Creek to Deep Ellum–with plans to expand the operating territory in the future.
Here’s what you can expect when matched with an Avride robotaxi:
• Request your ride: Starting today, riders in Dallas who request an UberX, Uber Comfort, or Uber Comfort Electric may be matched with an all-electric Avride robotaxi—at no additional cost. Riders will receive a notification each time and will always have the option to accept or switch to a non-AV ride.
• Familiar app, new experience: Once the robotaxi arrives, riders can unlock the vehicle and start the trip–all from the Uber app. (....)
