RIDE DENSITY IS THE FIRST DERIVATIVE OF FLEET REVENUE.
Before capital touches hardware, it must touch a map. These are the U.S. metros where autonomous ride demand concentrates — and where a Cybercab fleet earns first.

Site Selection Factors
01
POPULATION DENSITY
Fare volume scales superlinearly above 4,000 people per sq mi — the single strongest predictor of fleet utilization.
02
TOURISM INDEX
Visitor-heavy metros run higher utilization at premium fares, with reduced seasonality risk when paired with commuter demand.
03
REGULATORY POSTURE
States with autonomous-vehicle frameworks (TX, AZ, FL, NV) permit deployment years ahead of restrictive jurisdictions.
04
RIDE-HAIL BASELINE
Existing Uber/Lyft volume is the addressable market. Robotaxi pricing typically undercuts it 15–30%.
