Houston already runs driverless. Own the next wave — from Houston.
Houston is one of the six US metros where Tesla’s robotaxis run unsupervised (per Tesla’s Q2 2026 update) — and Waymo operates here too. Two networks, no waiting. If you live with driverless cars daily and want to be on the ownership side of them, this page is the honest version of how that works with DockDuty today.
The honest status: no Houston depot yet
Where DockDuty stands · August 2026
Depot #1 is targeted to open in Greater Orlando in Q4 2026 with 50 founding stalls — and the founding book is converting, including our first single-order 10-stall fleet reservation.
Our published roadmap is Florida-first: Miami breaks ground when Orlando is ~80% reserved and operating, Tampa follows. From there we expand wherever the Cybercab market opens — and Texas, running driverless in four metros, is the obvious second cluster.
Where we build after Florida is shaped by demand we can point to. That’s exactly what the list at the bottom of this page is.
Founder spots are open — from Houston, today
One founding book of 50 stalls, network-wide. Reserve for $450 — fully refundable until your Cybercab is onboarded — elect Houston, TX in the flow, and your car earns at depot #1 the day it arrives.
You don't have to wait for a Houston dock
DockDuty is an own-from-anywhere platform, and the reservation attaches to the network, not to one city:
- Reserve a stall today — $450, fully refundable until your Cybercab is onboarded, credited in full against the $1,000 onboarding fee.
- Your car earns at depot #1 in Greater Orlando. We park, charge, clean, and dispatch; you watch it from Houston on the same dashboard our founding owners use today.
- Elect Houston, TX as your preferred market right in the reservation flow — when the network reaches your city, your preference is already on file.
Want the money math first? Run the Cybercab earnings calculator — set your assumptions, see the full fee breakdown, and have your exact scenario emailed to you. Projections, not guarantees: nobody has fleet-scale Cybercab earnings history yet, including us.
We also track every live US robotaxi market on the US Robotaxi Map — jump to Houston, updated as markets open and free for anyone to cite.
The Houston list
Where we build after Florida is a demand question, and this list is the demand. Join it and two things happen: you get one email if a Texas depot moves from roadmap to real, and your interest is counted when we pick the next metro. No newsletter, no drip.
Already sure? You can skip the list and reserve a network stall now — elect Houston, TX as your preferred market in the flow.
Why Houston matters to a depot company
Houston is a working robotaxi town twice over — Tesla unsupervised and Waymo both operate here — across the most sprawling major metro in America: two airports, the Medical Center, the Energy Corridor, and distances that keep a ride fleet earning all day. Every one of those cars needs charging, cleaning, and a stall between rides — the layer DockDuty runs. The primer: what a robotaxi depot actually does, and the dated map of every live robotaxi metro.
One thing Houston buyers should know: today’s Houston robotaxis are Tesla’s own fleet. 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. (Texas buyer in Austin instead? There’s a page for you too.)
Frequently asked questions
Is there a DockDuty depot in Houston?
Not yet — and we won’t pretend otherwise. Depot #1 is targeted to open in Greater Orlando in Q4 2026, and our published roadmap is Florida-first (Miami on the ~80% trigger, Tampa following). From there we expand wherever the Cybercab market opens — and Texas, with four driverless metros including Houston, is the obvious second cluster. Registering Houston interest directly shapes where we build next.
Can I own a Cybercab from Houston before a Houston depot exists?
Yes — that’s the point of own-from-anywhere. Your reservation attaches to the DockDuty network, not to one city. Your car earns at the Greater Orlando depot while you watch from Houston, and you can elect Houston, TX as your preferred market in the reservation flow.
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.
