The robot delivery service is set to launch in Austin, TX, and then expand to Dallas, TX, and Jersey City, NJ. There was no word on why these specific cities were chosen, although it’s worth noting that Avride’s website indicates that the delivery robots can operate in snow, which New Jersey certainly receives.
