The Yandex self-driving programme, re-domiciled after the invasion of Ukraine and now one of Uber's US suppliers. Every Dallas car still has a safety operator, and NHTSA opened an investigation into its driving behaviour in 2026.

Where Avride is live
Every city on the tracker that Avride touches — as operator, as the app the ride is sold in, or as the stack underneath. A dot marks a city, not a service area.
- Paid, operator onboardAnyone can book and pay, but a trained operator rides along.
Boundaries from Natural Earth (public domain). Status is Avride's own stage in that city: a city can be driverless for a competitor and testing-only here.
