Phoenix trusted robotaxis first. Get on the ownership side.

Phoenix is Waymo’s oldest market, driverless service has run here longer than anywhere in America, and Tesla’s Q2 2026 report (July 22, 2026) lists Phoenix among the metros where robotaxi preparations are underway. If you’ve lived with driverless cars longer than anyone and want to own the next wave of them, this page is the honest version of how that works with DockDuty today.

The honest status: no Phoenix depot yet

Market statusDemand open

Where Phoenix 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 Phoenix

10 reserved (as of October 15, 2026).

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 Phoenix

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 Phoenix reservations to support a depot.
• Waymo’s longest-running market: driverless service has run here longer than anywhere in America, so the service test is already met.
• Tesla lists Phoenix among the metros where robotaxi preparations are underway (Q2 2026 report, July 22, 2026).

What a Phoenix 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.

How many stall reservations name Phoenix?

Stall reservations naming Phoenix: 10 (as of October 15, 2026).

DockDuty publishes the current count of stall reservations naming Phoenix 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 Phoenix?

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 Phoenix?

Yes. Use the site form on the DockDuty Network page and name Phoenix. A Phoenix 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.

You don't have to wait for a Phoenix 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 Phoenix on the same dashboard our founding clients use today.
• Elect Phoenix, AZ 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.

Why Phoenix matters to a depot company

Phoenix is where American robotaxis grew up. Waymo has run driverless service here longer than in any other US metro, long enough that a car with no one in the driver’s seat is just traffic. 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.

Two things Phoenix buyers should know. First, Tesla’s July 22, 2026 Q2 report lists Phoenix among the metros where robotaxi preparations are underway, the ownership era is coming to a market that already trusts the cars. How the two networks compare: Waymo vs. Tesla robotaxi. Second, today’s driverless fleets are company-owned: Waymo’s cars are Waymo’s, and 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 Nevada instead? There’s a page for Las Vegas too.)

Is there a robotaxi depot in Phoenix?

Not a DockDuty one. 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, with no site, lease or date yet. Phoenix owner reservations are collected as demand, not as a commitment. Other companies have built or planned facilities here: Waymo in Mesa and Chandler, Tesla with two Robotaxi-only charging hubs filed in April 2026, and Zoox with a depot announced in March 2026.

The detail, one source per line. Each Valley facility with a documented location is also a row in the US robotaxi depot database, with its status, size and the date we last opened the source.

• Waymo Driver Integration Plant, Mesa (operating). A 239,000 square foot factory run with Magna. It is a plant rather than a parking and charging yard, but Waymo says cars assigned to its Phoenix fleet “can pick up their first public passengers less than 30 minutes after leaving the factory” (Waymo, May 5, 2025).
• Waymo Technical Service Center, Mesa, and the Chandler operations facility. Announced in 2019 at 85,000 and 60,000 square feet. Waymo wrote then that it opened its first metro Phoenix location in Chandler in 2016, “the same year we started driving in the region” (Waymo, March 19, 2019). How either building is used today has not been published.
• Moove, announced as Waymo’s Phoenix fleet partner. In a partnership announced December 5, 2024, Moove said it would “take responsibility for fleet operations, facilities, and charging infrastructure” for the Waymo fleet, beginning with Phoenix in 2025 (Moove, December 5, 2024). That is what a third-party robotaxi depot operator looks like in practice: one company owns and drives the cars, another runs the ground work. Which Phoenix site Moove uses is not public.
• Tesla Robotaxi-only charging, Chandler and Mesa (filed, not built). In April 2026 Tesla applied to build 56 V4 Supercharger stalls on an industrial plot on South Roosevelt Avenue in Chandler, plus a second fleet site at 5349 E Main St in Mesa, stalls that “will not be open to the public” (Electrek, April 21, 2026).
• Zoox depot, Phoenix (announced). Zoox said it “will also be opening new depots in Phoenix and Dallas, as well as a new Fusion Center facility in Scottsdale” (Zoox, March 9, 2026). Zoox calls a Fusion Center its “command center for fleet operations”, meaning remote guidance and rider support rather than parking. No Phoenix depot address has been published.

Robotaxis in Phoenix: what is live and what is only announced

As of September 25, 2026, one company carries the public around metro Phoenix with nobody in the driver’s seat, and two more are preparing to. The record, with dates:

• Waymo: live since October 2020. “Beginning today, October 8, we’re excited to open up our fully driverless offering to Waymo One riders” (Waymo, October 8, 2020). On December 16, 2022, Phoenix Sky Harbor became “the first airport in the world” where travelers could take a Waymo to and from the airport (Phoenix Sky Harbor, December 16, 2022). On August 13, 2026, Waymo added 55 square miles in the East Valley, including San Tan Ranch and more of Gilbert and Chandler, taking its footprint to “roughly 350 square miles”; freeway rides had resumed in July after a two-month pause for software updates (KJZZ, August 13, 2026).
• Tesla: permitted and preparing, not yet carrying the public here. The Arizona Department of Transportation granted Tesla a transportation network company permit on November 17, 2025; in Arizona any company that charges for rides, with or without a human driver, needs one (TechCrunch, November 18, 2025). Tesla’s shareholder updates of April 22 and July 22, 2026 both list Phoenix as “Preparations Underway”, the label Miami, Orlando and Tampa carried in April, before Tesla launched unsupervised rides in those three in July (Tesla Q1 and Q2 2026 updates, as filed with the SEC). Not a Tesla App reported on June 13, 2026 that Tesla had filed an Arizona first responder plan whose proposed initial deployment covers Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Maricopa County, Mesa, Paradise Valley, Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tempe (Not a Tesla App, June 13, 2026). We have found no Tesla announcement of public Robotaxi rides in Phoenix as of September 25, 2026.
• Zoox: testing with a safety driver. Zoox announced in March 2026 that its retrofitted test SUVs would map Phoenix first and then test autonomously, including sensor and battery performance against “extreme heat and dust”, and that “there is always a safety driver behind the wheel” at this stage (Zoox, March 9, 2026).

What that means if you want to own a Cybercab here. Tesla’s first responder guide for its Robotaxi service, version 1.5 dated September 3, 2026, says: “All Robotaxi vehicles are owned and operated by Tesla at this time” (Tesla, Robotaxi First Responder Interaction Plan). Waymo’s cars belong to Waymo. So the Phoenix question for a private owner is not which network runs here but when any network accepts privately owned cars, and Tesla has not published owner-program terms. Until that changes, DockDuty counts a Phoenix reservation as demand for this metro, not as a commitment to build here.

Arizona’s robotaxi rules, and how they differ from Texas

Arizona allows driverless cars by statute: “a licensed human driver is not required to operate a fully autonomous vehicle that is operated in compliance with this chapter” (A.R.S. §28-9702(F)). It works by self-certification rather than a state AV permit. Before running with nobody at the wheel, a company files two documents: a law enforcement interaction plan with the Arizona Department of Transportation and the Department of Public Safety, and a written statement to ADOT that, among other things, the car will reach a minimal risk condition if its system fails, can comply with traffic law, and is titled, registered and insured (§28-9702(C)). A company that skips them can get a cease and desist letter from ADOT (§28-9702(D)). Charging fares is a separate step: a driverless ride-hail network runs under the state’s transportation network company rules (A.R.S. §28-9704), which is why Tesla’s November 2025 permit mattered.

Texas takes a different route. Since May 28, 2026, companies running automated vehicles commercially there “are required to maintain an active authorization with TxDMV” under SB 2807 (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles), and Texas cities are barred from writing their own robotaxi rules. Both states sit side by side with the rest on robotaxi laws by state, and the Texas statutes are unpacked in Texas robotaxi law, in plain English. None of this is legal advice.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a DockDuty depot in Phoenix?

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 Phoenix, the oldest driverless market in America with Tesla robotaxi preparations underway (per Tesla’s July 22, 2026 Q2 report), makes an obvious case. Registering Phoenix interest directly shapes where we build next.

Can I own a Cybercab from Phoenix before a Phoenix 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 Phoenix, AZ 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. We wrote the Phoenix-specific version of this question, how much can a robotaxi make in Phoenix?, covering which networks actually run here and what that does to the answer.
