Jacksonville’s robotaxi law is already live. The cars come next.
No robotaxi runs in Jacksonville today — no operator has announced one, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What Jacksonville has is the law: Florida Statutes §316.85 — the most permissive AV statute in the country — applies statewide, and it’s the same framework that let Miami, Orlando, and Tampa all turn on driverless service within July 2026. When the service area expands inside Florida, Jacksonville is the obvious next lane. This page is the honest version of how ownership works with DockDuty today.
The honest status: no Jacksonville depot yet
Where DockDuty stands · August 2026
Depot #1 is targeted to open in Greater Orlando in Q4 2026. There is no DockDuty depot in Jacksonville, and we’re not going to imply one is under construction.
Our published roadmap is Florida-first: Miami breaks ground when Orlando is ~80% reserved and operating, Tampa follows on the same trigger — potentially as parallel builds. Jacksonville is the fourth Florida metro named in our reserve flow, which makes it the natural next question after those three.
When Jacksonville moves from named market to construction 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 Jacksonville, today
One founding book of 50 stalls, network-wide. Reserve for $450 — fully refundable until your Cybercab is onboarded — elect Jacksonville, FL in the flow, and your car earns at depot #1 the day it arrives.
You don't have to wait for a Jacksonville dock
DockDuty is an own-from-anywhere platform, and the reservation attaches to the network, not to one city:

Why Jacksonville matters to a depot company
Jacksonville’s case isn’t an operator announcement — there isn’t one, and we won’t invent it. Its case is structural. Florida Statutes §316.85 requires no human operator, no special state permit, and preempts local rules statewide — the most permissive AV law in the country, and it already covers Jacksonville, today. There is no council vote or city permit standing between Jacksonville and driverless service; the only missing piece is an operator flipping it on. The full breakdown: Florida’s robotaxi law, explained.
That statewide framework is why Florida flipped fast — Miami, Orlando, and Tampa all turned on driverless service within July 2026, no per-city fight required. Jacksonville isn’t on the dated map of live robotaxi metros yet, but it sits inside the one state where expansion needs no new permission. Every car that eventually works this metro will need charging, cleaning, and a stall between rides — the layer DockDuty runs. The primer: what a robotaxi depot actually does.
One thing Jacksonville 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. (Florida buyer closer to a live metro? Depot #1 is in Greater Orlando, and Tampa — driverless since July 21, 2026 — has its own page.)
Frequently asked questions
Is there a DockDuty depot in Jacksonville?
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 breaks ground when Orlando is ~80% reserved and operating, Tampa follows on the same trigger, potentially as parallel builds. Jacksonville is the fourth Florida metro named in our reserve flow — so when the roadmap extends past those three, Jacksonville is the obvious next lane, and registering interest here directly shapes the timing.
Can I own a Cybercab from Jacksonville before a Jacksonville depot exists?
Yes — that’s the point of own-from-anywhere. Your reservation attaches to the DockDuty network, not to one city. Reserve a stall today ($450, fully refundable until your Cybercab is onboarded), your car earns at depot #1 in Greater Orlando, and you watch it from Jacksonville. In the reservation flow you can elect Jacksonville, FL as your preferred market.
How much could a Cybercab make?
Nobody has fleet-scale Cybercab earnings history yet — including us — so every number anyone quotes is a projection. Our free earnings calculator lets you set daily revenue, active days, and fleet size, shows the full fee math, and can email you your exact scenario. Projections, not guarantees.
