About
Why AVxLink exists.
Robotaxis can drive themselves. They can't fix a flat. Every autonomous vehicle still needs charging, cleaning, tires, glass, inspections and a place to park, every single day. Somebody has to do that work, and the businesses that already do it are right down the street.
A network, not a megadepot.
This started as RoboReset, a plan to build a depot in Austin to clean and reset robotaxis between shifts. Then I ran the numbers. A small-to-medium depot for a 100-car fleet costs $600K to $1.5M+ before you buy the land, and every city would need several. Meanwhile there are tire shops, car washes, detailers and parking lots with power already serving drivers in every neighborhood. So we stopped planning a building and started building a network. AVxLink connects autonomous fleets with the local businesses that will keep them moving. RoboReset lives on as the service standard partners will work to.
Is this software?
Yes, and more. AVxLink is a network of real local businesses, and software is what links them together. Today that means matching fleets with the right partners. Where it's going is simple: a car that needs a tire, a cleaning or a charge knows exactly where to go, and the right shop is ready when it gets there. We're building that connection layer now, and early partners help decide how it works.
Where we are.
We're starting in Austin, where Cybercabs are already on the road, and building toward Dallas and Houston next. We get there before the fleets do. They're scaling fast, so wherever you are, if you own vehicles or run a business that could service them, we want to hear from you.
AVxLink is independent and not affiliated with any vehicle manufacturer.

I'm Andy Shelley. I've spent years in licensing, compliance and court-appointed receivership work in regulated industries, getting complicated operations running and keeping them that way. Now I'm building the service networks autonomous fleets are going to need. AVxLink keeps the cars moving. AVxCompliance handles the paperwork side: state and local permits, licensing, renewals, insurance tracking, and the transfer work when fleets change hands. This industry is being invented in real time. I'd rather help write the playbook than wait for someone else to. If you want a hand in shaping it, let's talk.
