“Dallas is well-positioned in terms of the new mobility conversation.”Įarlier this month autonomous trucking startup Kodiak Robotics opened an office in Dallas, where it will soon launch its first commercial route.

“If you look at the companies making those decisions – Uber, Kodiak, Toyota – Dallas makes a lot of sense, because of the ease of operations, real estate and the talent pool,” said Duane Dankesreiter, senior vice president of research and innovation at the Dallas Regional Chamber of Commerce. A growing number of transportation operators have opted to launch a range of cutting-edge mobility services, from self- driving trucks to robotic food delivery and air taxis, in this Northern Texas metropolis. The move is a feather in the cap for the sprawling southwestern city. The transportation giant will open an office with at least 3,000 employees in a downtown neighborhood, with plans to make Dallas its largest hub outside of its San Francisco headquarters. After spending much of 2019 staunching losses, Uber Technologies ( NYSE: UBER) has announced a major expansion in Dallas, Texas.
