Miami went driverless. Fort Lauderdale is 30 miles from the ownership side.
No robotaxi carries passengers in Fort Lauderdale yet, no operator has announced one, and we won’t pretend otherwise. But Broward sits next door to Florida’s busiest robotaxi county: in Miami, about 30 miles south, Waymo has carried paying riders since January 22, 2026, and Tesla’s Robotaxi went unsupervised there on July 3, 2026, one of six unsupervised metros in Tesla’s July 22, 2026 Q2 update. If the wave is that close, this page is the honest version of how ownership works with DockDuty today.
The honest status: no Fort Lauderdale depot yet
Where DockDuty stands · September 2026
Orlando is our lead market, with its depot targeted for Q4 2026. There is no DockDuty depot in Fort Lauderdale, and we’re not going to imply one is under construction.
We are planning locations in several more metros at the same time, and one of them is next door: Miami, about 30 miles south, is a planned depot, with no site, lease or date yet.
When Broward gets a dock of its own is shaped by demand we can point to. That’s exactly what the list at the bottom of this page is.

Where Fort Lauderdale stands in the DockDuty Network
- Status
- Demand open. Owners can elect this market at checkout and the count is published; nothing else is committed.
- Stall reservations naming Fort Lauderdale
- 2 reserved (as of live count).
- What the count means
- One stall reservation is one Cybercab stall reserved with a paid or clearing $450 refundable deposit that names a preferred market. The count is stalls, not clients, and a reservation is not a vehicle on site or an operating stall. Unpaid, failed, cancelled and refunded checkouts never count. No DockDuty depot is operating anywhere yet.
- Depot status
- Owners can reserve and name this market. That records demand; it is not a depot project or a commitment to open.
- What would bring DockDuty to Fort Lauderdale
DockDuty opens a market when enough reservations point at it to support a depot, a driverless service is carrying paying riders there or state law allows one, and a site with the power to charge the fleet is available. Orlando is the lead market, with its depot targeted for Q4 2026; DockDuty is planning locations in several more metros at the same time, including depots in Miami and Tampa Bay, with no site, lease or date yet.
- Enough Fort Lauderdale reservations to support a depot. DockDuty is planning a depot in Miami, about 30 miles south, and driverless service already runs there.
- A driverless service carrying paying riders in Fort Lauderdale itself. None runs today and no operator has announced one.
- What a Fort Lauderdale site needs
- Space at depot scale: room to park, stage and clean a fleet, not a handful of spaces.
- Commercial power that can scale with the fleet.
- DC fast charging. The Cybercab charges DC-only through the NACS port and has no onboard AC charger.
- 24/7 access and staffing.
- Proximity to ride demand.

You don't have to wait for a Fort Lauderdale dock
DockDuty is an own-from-anywhere platform, and the reservation attaches to the network, not to one city:
- Reserve a Priority stall today: Priority stall reservations are open in every metro we list. Orlando is our lead market, with its depot targeted for Q4 2026; no depot is open yet. The $450 deposit is taken at checkout, is fully refundable until your Cybercab is onboarded and credited in full against the $1,000 onboarding fee.
- When DockDuty announces the next depot with capacity for your stall, you have 30 days to tell us in writing whether to onboard there, keep waiting for a depot in your market, or take a refund. If you don’t reply, you’re set to onboard at that depot. Once your car is onboarded, we’ll park, charge, clean, and dispatch (charging is included in the monthly retainer) and you watch it from Fort Lauderdale on the same dashboard our founding clients use today.
- Elect Fort Lauderdale, FL as your preferred market right in the reservation flow. When the network reaches Broward, your preference is already on file.

Why Fort Lauderdale matters to a depot company
Fort Lauderdale’s case starts 30 miles down I-95. Miami runs two robotaxi networks at once: Waymo has carried paying riders there since January 22, 2026, and Tesla’s service went unsupervised on July 3, 2026, under the same Florida Statutes §316.85 that covers Broward today: no human operator required, no special state permit, no city-by-city approval. There is no legal step between Miami’s county line and Fort Lauderdale, only an operator’s decision to widen the map. And autonomy is already working Broward streets at small scale: Serve Robotics’ sidewalk delivery robots have run Downtown and Las Olas for Uber Eats since December 5, 2025. The full breakdown of the law: Florida’s robotaxi law, explained.
The demand profile is exactly what short-ride fleets eat. Port Everglades closed fiscal 2025 with a record 4.77 million cruise passenger movements, the world’s third-busiest cruise homeport, and Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International moved 32.2 million passengers in 2025, most of them starting or ending a trip within a few miles of the port, the beach, or Las Olas. Cruise terminal to airport to hotel is a robotaxi’s natural habitat, and every car that eventually works those corridors needs charging, cleaning, and a stall between rides, the layer DockDuty is building. The primer: what a robotaxi depot actually does, and the dated map of every live robotaxi metro.
One thing Fort Lauderdale buyers should know: today’s Miami robotaxis are the operators’ own fleets. The Cybercab (the car individual owners will put on the network) has no public order book yet. That’s the window: how to be ready on day one. (On the Gulf side instead? There’s a page for Fort Myers too.)
Frequently asked questions
Is there a DockDuty depot in Fort Lauderdale?
Not yet, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Orlando is our lead market, with its depot targeted for Q4 2026, and we are planning locations in several more metros at the same time, including depots in Miami (about 30 miles south of Fort Lauderdale) and Tampa Bay. A Fort Lauderdale dock isn’t promised yet, but Miami is a half-hour down I-95, and registering interest here directly shapes where we build next.
Can I own a Cybercab from Fort Lauderdale before a Fort Lauderdale depot exists?
Yes, that’s the point of own-from-anywhere. Your reservation attaches to the DockDuty network, not to one city. Today that means a Priority stall, reservable from any metro we list (same $450 refundable deposit). When DockDuty announces the next depot with capacity for your stall, you have 30 days to tell us in writing whether to onboard there, keep waiting for a depot in your market, or take a refund. If you don’t reply, you’re set to onboard at that depot. In the reservation flow you can elect Fort Lauderdale, FL as your preferred market, and if the planned Miami depot opens (no site, lease or date yet), it would be about 30 miles from home.
How much could a Cybercab make?
Nobody has fleet-scale Cybercab earnings history yet (including us) so treat every number anyone quotes as a projection. The earnings calculator shows the full fee math for your assumptions and can email you your exact scenario.
Driverless is 30 miles south. Own the next wave.
