Avride

Avride is growing fast! Our team is expanding, our fleet is scaling, and our technology is evolving every day. To keep pace, we’ve opened a new engineering center — a space that matches the scale of our ambitions and fuels the innovation that drives us forward. It’s where ideas turn into technology, and technology turns into real-world progress. But what truly makes it special is the people behind it — the engineers, builders, and creators who keep pushing boundaries and make Avride what it is. We celebrated this milestone together — and there’s much more ahead.

Exciting news from Jersey City! Avride’s autonomous delivery robots are now delivering Shake Shack orders through Uber Eats. From Angus beef burgers to hand-spun milkshakes, customers downtown can get their Shack favorites delivered right to their door by one of our robots. With Shake Shack joining the service, we’re expanding the variety available through autonomous delivery and making Jersey City a leader in this new way of getting the food you love. https://lnkd.in/gUAhpcYq

🚀 100,000 deliveries… and counting at The Ohio State University! We’ve officially completed over 100,000 deliveries on the Columbus campus with our fleet of autonomous robots. Every day, over 100 robots bring orders from the restaurants right to students across OSU. This is the largest robot deployment in the United States, and we’re proud to be shaping the future of autonomous delivery together with The Ohio State University and Grubhub. A huge thank-you to our partners and the OSU community for the trust and warm welcome — and this is just the beginning!

Bear Down, Wildcats! Avride’s delivery robots are now serving students at the University of Arizona in partnership with Grubhub. A fleet of 50 next-generation robots is supporting a campus community of more than 50,000 students, delivering meals from a dozen restaurants directly through the Grubhub app. This is our second campus with Grubhub after OSU, where our robots completed over 80,000 deliveries last semester. At Arizona, students will now benefit from the same proven technology — reliable, safe, and efficient. Read more in our blog: https://lnkd.in/giiPsj8D

Dallas streets, say hi to our robotaxis — testing is in full swing 👋 We’re ramping up testing of Avride’s IONIQ 5 robotaxis in Dallas as we prepare for a public launch later this year with Uber. Following the success of our autonomous delivery robots on Uber Eats, we’re excited to bring Avride’s autonomous driving technology to passenger rides.

With 112 robots making over 80,000 deliveries in a single semester — The Ohio State University is now home to the largest campus deployment of delivery robots in the U.S. That’s 1,200–1,300 deliveries a day, 12–20 per robot, and more than 10,000 street crossings daily. What does it take to run operations at this scale? A well-designed system, smart fleet management, and seamless coordination — all built to maintain a high level of service, even at this volume. We break it down in our latest blog post — with plenty of numbers and behind-the-scenes insights: https://lnkd.in/dw7nF5mC

Hopping into Easter weekend! Wishing you a joyful and egg-stra special holiday from all of us at Avride.

Avride team wins Lux AI Season 3 on Kaggle! 🚀🏆 Huge congratulations to our colleagues from Avride, competing as Flat Neurons—Andrew Volchek, Anton Kazlouski, and Sergei Zhgirovski—along with Ekaterina Yurkovskaya—for taking 1st place in the Lux AI Season 3 Challenge on Kaggle! 🎉 This competition challenged participants to design AI agents for deep-space expeditions, optimizing resource gathering, decision-making, and opponent analysis in a 1v1 environment. Our team’s winning approach used multi-agent reinforcement learning (RL), primarily the IMPALA algorithm, with enhancements like dynamic reward scaling and adaptive entropy, making their agents highly efficient and adaptable. Check out our detailed breakdown of the design, training pipeline, and testing strategy here: https://lnkd.in/gVPqmvvP, Incredible achievement, Flat Neurons!

Check out this great feature on our delivery robots at Ohio State University! 🚀🎓 In the interview, the OSU Dining services team shares how a fleet of 100 autonomous robots operates on campus, making up to 1,300 deliveries a day. Huge thanks to them for the insights and for making this service a seamless part of campus life! https://lnkd.in/eyQ6DjFb

We are thrilled to announce a Strategic Alliance with Hyundai Motor Company. Hyundai Motor Company and Avride will jointly develop and operate vehicles capable of fully autonomous driving. The collaboration will focus on leveraging Hyundai Motor’s cutting-edge electric vehicle (EV) platform technology with its IONIQ 5 and Avride’s autonomous driving technology to pave the way for future mobility solutions, such as robotaxis and autonomous delivery services. The partnership also includes a significant expansion of Avride’s IONIQ 5-based fleet, with the first vehicles expected to be deployed in the coming months. These vehicles will be first available for riders later this year in Dallas as part of Avride’s robotaxi services exclusively on Uber. https://lnkd.in/g5MhZK3d
