Uber Technologies plans to launch its autonomous ride-hailing service in Houston by mid-2027, marking a significant expansion for its robotaxi initiative. This strategic move into Texas follows the company's progress in the San Francisco Bay Area, where a commercial launch is anticipated later this year. Autonomous vehicle testing is currently underway in Houston.
The company is operating a substantial fleet of 100 autonomous vehicles across California and Texas. To support this growing fleet, Uber has established a 50,000-square-foot facility in Houston dedicated to charging, maintenance, repairs, and cleaning of the robotaxi program.
This expansion is a key part of Uber's vision for future mobility. The development of autonomous ride-hailing services aims to enhance transportation efficiency and accessibility, with further city rollouts expected beyond Houston.
