Avride's autonomous sidewalk delivery robot, evolved from the Yandex rover platform (Avride is the autonomous-mobility business spun out of Yandex), operates in active service across multiple US cities through partnerships with Uber Eats and others. There is no consumer price: it is a B2B delivery service, not a robot sold to consumers. On the autonomy spectrum it sits at the more-autonomous end of the sidewalk cohort: autonomous with remote oversight, rather than primarily teleoperated. It is at commercial maturity.
