Where can you ride a robotaxi? Every city, every company

Short answer: as of October 21, 2026, the public can ride a driverless robotaxi in 15 US metro areas, led by Waymo, which is open to everyone in 12 of them with its own app, works through Uber in Austin and Atlanta, and is letting riders in gradually in Las Vegas. Tesla carries paying riders in six Texas and Florida cities, and Zoox charges for rides in Las Vegas. Outside the US, Dubai and Abu Dhabi offer fully driverless rides in the Uber app.

This page is our master tracker. Each row is one company in one city, with its status, the app you need and whether it serves the airport. City names with a link have their own guide. For Waymo only, see every Waymo city.

Full US tracker: status, apps and airports

"Open to all" means anyone can download the app and ride. "Rolling invitations" means you join a waitlist first. "Supervised" means there is a safety driver or monitor in the car, so it is not yet a true driverless service.

Status checked October 21, 2026. Service areas change often: the company's app is always the final word.

Robotaxis outside the US

The Middle East has moved fastest for visitors: in Dubai and Abu Dhabi you can be matched with a car with nobody at the wheel simply by ordering an UberX or Uber Comfort in the right area. London has autonomous cars on Uber, but with a licensed safety driver aboard. See our guides to Dubai and Abu Dhabi and London.

Status checked October 21, 2026. Service areas change often: the company's app is always the final word.

China runs some of the largest driverless fleets in the world (Baidu's Apollo Go, Pony.ai and WeRide in cities such as Wuhan, Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen), but booking usually requires local apps and a Chinese phone number. We will add a visitor's guide.

How to read the status labels

• Open to all
• Rolling invitations
• Via Uber or Lyft
• Safety driver or monitor aboard
• Testing or employees only
• Announced

• Open to all: download the app, sign up and ride. You still need to be 18 or older to hold an account with most services.
• Via Uber or Lyft: you can't book the robotaxi directly. You order a normal ride and may be matched with one. In Uber, you raise your chances by switching on "Autonomous vehicles" in your ride preferences. See how to get a Waymo on Uber or Lyft.
• Rolling invitations: the service is live, but riders are admitted gradually from an interest list.
• Supervised: the car drives itself, but a person sits in the driver's or passenger seat and can intervene.
• Testing: the cars are on the road, sometimes with employees as passengers, but you can't book a ride.

What's coming next

• Tesla has named Las Vegas, Phoenix, Jacksonville and San Antonio as its next cities, without dates. Nevada has already approved a permit for up to 5,000 Tesla robotaxis.
• Waymo has announced London and is testing in Toronto, with a launch planned for 2028. Freeway trips, paused in May 2026, are back in Phoenix and expected to return in other cities.
• Zoox gives free rides from a waitlist in San Francisco and is testing in Austin, Miami, Los Angeles and other cities.
• Uber and Lyft keep adding partners: Motional in Las Vegas, Avride in Dallas, May Mobility in Atlanta and Nuro in the Bay Area.

Want to know when a service reaches your city? The quickest way is to download the operator's app and join its interest list. We also log every change on this page and in each city guide.
