Three robotaxi networks are converging on Las Vegas. Get on the ownership side.
One of the most-visited metros in America is getting three robotaxi networks nearly at once: Waymo opened Las Vegas to its first public riders, by invitation, on September 14, 2026, no human specialist behind the wheel; Zoox made it its first commercial market anywhere, paid rides live since August 10, 2026; and Tesla won Nevada’s approval on August 20, 2026 to deploy up to 5,000 robotaxis across Clark County. Riding is covered. The ownership side is the open seat, and this page is the honest version of how that works with DockDuty today.
The honest status: no Las Vegas depot yet
Where DockDuty stands · September 2026
Orlando is our lead market, with its depot targeted for Q4 2026; the founding book (50 stalls, network-wide) sold out September 5, 2026, closed by a single fleet reservation. Capacity that opens next sells at Priority rates.
We are planning locations in several more metros at the same time, including depots in Miami and Tampa Bay. Beyond those, we expand wherever the Cybercab market opens, and a metro pulling in three networks at once makes an unusually strong case for a depot.
Where we build next is shaped by demand we can point to. That’s exactly what the list at the bottom of this page is.

Where Las Vegas 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 Las Vegas
- No stall reservations name Las Vegas yet.
- 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 Las Vegas
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 Las Vegas reservations to support a depot.
- Zoox has charged fares here since August 10, 2026, and Waymo has carried public riders by invitation since September 14, 2026, so the service test is already met.
- Tesla won Nevada’s approval on August 20, 2026 to deploy robotaxis across Clark County.
- What a Las Vegas 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.
- Last reviewed

How many stall reservations name Las Vegas?
None yet (as of live count).
DockDuty publishes the current count of stall reservations naming Las Vegas on this page, dated to the day it was read from the reservation system. 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.
What would make DockDuty open a depot in Las Vegas?
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.
Can I offer a site or a lot in Las Vegas?
Yes. Use the site form on the DockDuty Network page and name Las Vegas. A Las Vegas site needs space at depot scale, commercial power that can scale, DC fast charging (the Cybercab charges DC-only through the NACS port and has no onboard AC charger), 24/7 access and staffing, and proximity to ride demand.
Priority stalls are open from Las Vegas
Every stall sells at our Priority rates with a $450 refundable deposit, in every metro we list. Reserve a Priority stall, elect Las Vegas, NV in the flow, and your spot is a Priority spot this round.
You don't have to wait for a Las Vegas 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; you watch it from Las Vegas on the same dashboard our founding clients use today.
- Elect Las Vegas, NV as your preferred market right in the reservation flow. When the network reaches your city, your preference is already on file.

The Las Vegas list
Where we build next is a demand question, and this list is the demand. Join it and two things happen: you get one email if a Las Vegas depot moves from roadmap to real, and your interest is counted when we pick the next metro. No drip sequence, and one-click unsubscribe.
Stalls are open in Las Vegas, NV right now, become a Priority client for $450 per cab, fully refundable until your Cybercab is onboarded.
Why Las Vegas matters to a depot company
Few US metros have three robotaxi networks converging this fast, this close together. Waymo announced driverless operation in Las Vegas on July 8, 2026, employee rides first, and opened to its first public riders, by invitation, on September 14, 2026. Zoox picked Las Vegas as its first commercial market anywhere: paid rides began August 10, 2026, after a July 30, 2026 NHTSA exemption covering up to 2,500 vehicles a year for two years. And Tesla won Nevada’s approval on August 20, 2026 to deploy up to 5,000 robotaxis across Clark County. Every one of those cars 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 Las Vegas buyers should know: the fleets arriving on the Strip are operator-owned: Waymo’s and Zoox’s own cars, with Tesla holding a Nevada permit for up to 5,000 vehicles. After the August 20 approval, Sawyer Merritt estimated that paid Tesla rides could start within about 30 days, once inspections, insurance and rate filings were done (as quoted by Tesla Oracle, August 21, 2026); that window has passed, and as of October 10, 2026 DockDuty has not confirmed that public Tesla rides have begun in Las Vegas, while Tesla’s robotaxi page still listed only Austin, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Orlando and Tampa on October 6 (tesla.com, archived; the dated status). 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. (Southwest buyer in Arizona instead? There’s a page for Phoenix too.)
Is there a robotaxi depot in Las Vegas?
Not a DockDuty one: DockDuty has no depot in Las Vegas and has not announced one. DockDuty collects Las Vegas owner reservations as demand, not as a commitment; the status of every market is on the DockDuty Network page. Robotaxi companies already run their own bases here: Zoox keeps its fleet in a warehouse in the southwest valley, Motional has a technical center, and a planned Tesla hub has been reported with no site published.
The Las Vegas Valley record, source by source. The first three entries are rows in the US robotaxi depot database, where each one sits beside every other US robotaxi facility we can document.
- Zoox headquarters and depot, southwest Las Vegas (operating). Zoox’s Las Vegas headquarters in the southwest valley includes a warehouse “to house and maintain the fleets of driverless vehicles” and 16,000 square feet of office space (GovTech, October 14, 2024). No street address is given.
- Motional technical center, Las Vegas (operating). A 130,000-square-foot building that Motional opened “to house its fleet of autonomous vehicles” along with engineering, validation and mapping teams (TechCrunch, September 23, 2021). It is a fleet garage and a lab under one roof, which is why the database types it as a service center rather than a depot.
- Tesla Robotaxi hub, Las Vegas (reported as planned). Teslarati counted Las Vegas among four Robotaxi charging hubs Tesla has planned beyond Austin, alongside Phoenix, San Antonio and Irving (Teslarati, August 18, 2026). No filing, address or size has surfaced in our searches, so the database records those fields as unknown.
- Waymo (no site published). Waymo began carrying public riders in Las Vegas on September 14, 2026, as the next section sets out. Where its Las Vegas fleet charges has not been made public in any source we found, so the database has no Waymo row for the city yet.
Robotaxis in Las Vegas: what is live and what is only announced
As of October 1, 2026, two companies give members of the public rides with nobody behind the wheel in Las Vegas, a third carries Uber riders with a person in the driver’s seat, and Tesla holds a permit but, as far as we can find, is not yet carrying the public. Operator by operator:
- Zoox: free public rides since September 2025, fares since August 10, 2026. Zoox “has officially begun offering (free) robotaxi rides to the general public around Las Vegas”, Electrek reported on September 10, 2025 (Electrek, September 10, 2025). Its vehicles have no steering wheel or pedals, so charging fares needed a federal exemption; NHTSA granted it on July 30, 2026, limited to 2,500 vehicles a year for two years (TechCrunch, July 30, 2026). Zoox set August 10 as the day it would start charging (TechCrunch, August 5, 2026), and on September 3 it extended its commercial service to Harry Reid International Airport, with pickups at both terminals near baggage claim (TechCrunch, September 3, 2026). Its Nevada network permit covers 100 robotaxis (TechCrunch, August 20, 2026).
- Waymo: public riders since September 14, 2026, by invitation. On July 8, 2026 Waymo said it would soon drive fully autonomously in Las Vegas and that “these rider-only operations will initially be for employees” (Waymo, July 8, 2026). The Nevada Transportation Authority approved Waymo for up to 1,000 vehicles on August 20 (TechCrunch, August 20, 2026), and on September 14 Waymo began “providing our first public riders in the city with fully autonomous trips” in an area running from Boulder Junction up the Strip to Sahara Avenue and from the edge of Spring Valley to Winchester (Waymo, September 14, 2026). Members of the public request an invitation, and TechCrunch counted Las Vegas as Waymo’s 15th market, launched with “dozens” of Ojai minivans (TechCrunch, September 14, 2026).
- Motional on Uber: carrying riders, with a person behind the wheel. Uber relaunched Motional’s IONIQ 5 robotaxis in Las Vegas on March 13, 2026, and “initially, Motional’s IONIQ 5 robotaxis will carry a human vehicle operator monitoring the road from the driver’s seat”; Motional says it expects to remove that operator by the end of 2026 (The Next Web, March 13, 2026). The Charge Port’s tracker, last verified September 24, 2026, still lists it as a supervised pilot on Uber (The Charge Port). Uber’s own Nevada permit, approved August 20, covers 1,000 robotaxis to be run through its partnerships with Motional and Zoox (TechCrunch, August 20, 2026).
- Tesla: permitted, not yet carrying the public as far as we can find. Tesla’s July 22, 2026 shareholder update listed Las Vegas as “Preparations Underway” (Tesla Q2 2026 update, as filed with the SEC). On August 20 the Nevada Transportation Authority approved Tesla to deploy up to 5,000 robotaxis in Clark County (TechCrunch, August 20, 2026). The Charge Port’s tracker, last verified September 24, 2026, lists Tesla in Las Vegas as “PERMITTED but not yet carrying public riders” (The Charge Port), and we have found no Tesla announcement of public Robotaxi rides here as of October 1, 2026.
What that means for a would-be Cybercab owner in Las Vegas. Every car in that list belongs to a company fleet, not to an individual. Tesla’s Robotaxi first responder guide, version 1.5 dated September 3, 2026, puts it in one line: “All Robotaxi vehicles are owned and operated by Tesla at this time” (Tesla, Robotaxi First Responder Interaction Plan). Tesla has not published terms for owner-supplied cars, so a Las Vegas reservation with DockDuty records demand for this market; it does not reserve a stall in a Las Vegas building.
Nevada’s robotaxi rules: two state agencies, no local veto
Nevada put driverless operation into statute: no motor vehicle or traffic law of the state “shall be construed to require a human driver to operate a fully autonomous vehicle” while its automated driving system is in control (NRS 482A.200). Before testing on a highway, a company must show $5,000,000 in insurance or self-insurance, or post a cash deposit or bond of the same amount (NRS 482A.060). The state DMV says it does not test or certify the technology itself; it runs “a self-certification process” and, once a testing application is approved, issues a Certificate of Compliance and red license plates for each vehicle in the fleet (Nevada DMV). Clark County and its cities cannot add a layer of their own: “A local government shall not impose any tax or fee or impose any other requirement” on an autonomous vehicle or the person operating it (NRS 482A.110).
Charging fares takes a second license from a different agency. A company that, for compensation, connects passengers to fully autonomous vehicles is an autonomous vehicle network company, and it may not do business in Nevada without a permit from the Nevada Transportation Authority (NRS 706B.030 and 706B.110). On August 20, 2026 the Authority unanimously approved commercial robotaxi permits for Tesla, Uber and Waymo in Clark County, over opposition from the Livery Operators Association and local taxi companies (TechCrunch, August 20, 2026). How Nevada compares with other states is on robotaxi laws by state, and California’s multi-step permit ladder, which governs Los Angeles, is set out on the Los Angeles page. Nothing here is legal advice.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a DockDuty depot in Las Vegas?
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 and Tampa Bay. Beyond those, we expand wherever the Cybercab market opens: and Las Vegas, with three networks converging on one of the most-visited metros in America, makes an unusually strong case. Registering Las Vegas interest directly shapes where we build next.
Can I own a Cybercab from Las Vegas before a Las Vegas 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 Las Vegas, NV as your preferred market.
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.
Las Vegas is about to be triple-covered. Own the next wave.
Reserve a Priority stall today, elect Las Vegas as your preferred market, and take a Priority spot this round: $450 deposit, fully refundable until your Cybercab is onboarded, credited in full against the $1,000 onboarding fee.
