Urban Autonomy Summit - Austin
Curbivore is pleased to invite you to the Urban Autonomy Summit, presented by Nexar, convening in Austin on October 14th, 2026.
Texas is at an inflection point: autonomous vehicles are no longer a future debate—they’re already navigating big-city streets and highways. With the likes of Waymo, Tesla, Zoox, Wayve and more all operating in dense urban cores, while major trucking firms worldwide add autonomy to their default tech stacks, Austin and other megalopolises face urgent questions around safety, equity, and integration with existing transport systems. Now is the moment for a critical discussion to shape AV deployments.
