flag Teledriving, remote-controlled vehicles by a German firm, will debut in Austin by fall 2026, joining ride-share services with human operators overseeing cars from afar.

flag A new remote driving technology called teledriving, where human operators control vehicles from afar using real-time video, is set to launch in Austin, Texas, by fall 2026. flag Developed by a German-founded company and tested in Las Vegas, the system allows drivers to operate cars from office locations without using personal vehicles. flag Unlike self-driving cars, teledriving vehicles are not subject to the same regulations in Texas since a human is actively controlling them. flag Austin’s transportation department is working with the company to create safety rules and emergency response training. flag If approved, teledriving vehicles could join ride-share services like Lyft, Uber, Waymo, and Tesla Robotaxi, offering a new transportation option while reducing wear on personal cars.
