Driverless Florida is two hours up I-75. Fort Myers sits between Miami and Tampa Bay, where depots are planned.
No robotaxi carries passengers in Fort Myers today, no operator has announced one, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What Southwest Florida has is position: Florida Statutes §316.85 (the most permissive AV statute in the country) covers Lee County today, the nearest driverless metro is Tampa, about two hours up I-75 (Tesla went unsupervised there July 21, 2026; Waymo named it a next market July 8, 2026), and Miami and Tampa Bay, where DockDuty is planning depots, sit on either side of Fort Myers. This page is the honest version of how ownership works with DockDuty today.
The honest status: no Fort Myers 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 Myers, and we’re not going to imply one is under construction.

Whether DockDuty plans a Fort Myers depot is shaped by demand we can point to. That’s exactly what the list at the bottom of this page is.

- 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.

- 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 Myers
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 Myers reservations to support a depot. Southwest Florida sits between Tampa Bay and Miami, two markets where DockDuty is planning depots.
- A driverless service carrying paying riders in Fort Myers. None runs today and no operator has announced one; the nearest driverless metro is Tampa Bay.
- Florida’s autonomous-vehicle law already applies statewide, so the legal test is met.
- What a Fort Myers 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.

Why Fort Myers matters to a depot company
Fort Myers’ case isn’t an operator announcement. There isn’t one, and we won’t invent it. Its case is position. Florida Statutes §316.85 requires no human operator, no special state permit, and preempts local rules statewide: it covers Lee County today, and it’s the same framework that had Waymo carrying Miami and Orlando riders by early 2026, and let Tesla switch on driverless service in Miami, Orlando, and Tampa inside a single July. The nearest of those metros, Tampa, is about two hours up I-75, and Miami and Tampa Bay, where depots are planned, bracket Southwest Florida. The full breakdown: Florida’s robotaxi law, explained, and the dated map of every live robotaxi metro.
The demand is already measured. Southwest Florida International set its second consecutive record in 2025 with 11.2 million passengers, and Lee County drew 3.32 million visitors in 2025 who spent more than $3.3 billion, per the county’s visitor bureau, an airport-to-beach, winter-season ride profile that keeps point-to-point fleets busy. Southwest Florida has been comfortable with autonomy for years, too: Babcock Ranch, the solar-powered town 15 miles northeast of Fort Myers, was piloting driverless shuttles as far back as 2018. Every robotaxi that eventually works these corridors needs charging, cleaning, and a stall between rides, the layer DockDuty is building. The primer: what a robotaxi depot actually does.
One thing Fort Myers buyers should know: 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 Atlantic side instead? There’s a page for Fort Lauderdale too.)
