Your Uber Eats Driver Is A Robot

You may have seen fancy coolers with wheels and smiley faces rolling around town and wondered what they were.

Meet Avride's autonomous food delivery robots.

Now cruising all over downtown Austin, each little unit can carry up to 6 large pizzas plus drinks with a delivery range of 1-2 miles.

It runs on 3 layers of sensors:

• Advanced lidar - for 3D mapping
• Cameras - to identify colors and details
• Ultrasonic sensors - for immediate collision alerts

With this stack, it can safely navigate streets and sidewalks, adapting to changes in the environment at a moment's notice.

So you can kiss your awkward delivery driver interactions goodbye. No more tips. No more late food arriving cold. No more missing french fries. Just enter your delivery code, grab your food from the robot and bounce.

Avride's partnered with Uber and so far they've logged over 10M+ miles while also building:

• $54.3M ARR
• $475M funding
• 200 employees

This is proof that Austin isn't just a place to launch, it's a live testing ground where you can put hard tech on live streets, rack up millions of reps, and prove your product works.
