The rise of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and AI-powered robots is driving the need for specialized, secure transport solutions. At Bigfella Auto Express, we handle high-tech vehicles with care, precision, and expertise. Recently, we safely transported a Hyundai IONIQ 5 from Austin, TX to East Palo Alto, CA, an AVRide vehicle equipped with autonomous features, showcasing our capabilities in moving advanced technology vehicles and AI robots.
Moving an autonomous vehicle is very different from transporting a traditional car. AVs include sensitive sensors, LIDAR systems, cameras, and AI software that require specialized handling. At Bigfella Auto Express, we provide:
Enclosed Transport: Protects against weather, debris, and road hazards.
AI-Sensitive Handling: Ensures sensors and autonomous systems remain calibrated.
Secure Loading & Unloading: Prevents damage to batteries, electronics, or other critical components.
Real-Time Tracking: Clients can monitor the shipment from pickup to delivery.
These processes ensure that AVRide vehicles arrive safely and fully operational, whether they are used for research, testing, or deployment.
In addition to autonomous vehicles, Bigfella Auto Express also transports AI-powered robots, which require extra precautions:
Custom compartments to minimize vibration and shocks
Climate control for sensitive electronics
Strict scheduling to meet testing or deployment deadlines
By handling both AVs and AI robots, Bigfella demonstrates the ability to manage complex, high-value shipments reliably and efficiently.
The transport included:
Pickup: Austin, TX
Delivery: Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley, East Palo Alto, CA
Vehicle: Hyundai IONIQ 5 (autonomous-capable)
Carrier: FAST FARGO LLC
Dates: September 18–22, 2025
Every stage, from loading in Austin to delivery in East Palo Alto, was handled with care and professionalism, maintaining the integrity of the vehicle’s autonomous systems.
After delivery, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 was safely returned to Austin using the same meticulous protocols. Key aspects included:
Dispatch Coordination: Continuous communication between drivers and our operations team
Safe Release Protocols: Vehicle delivered only to authorized personnel
Timely Scheduling: Ensured efficient transport without delays
Transporting autonomous vehicles and AI robots is complex and high-stakes. Bigfella Auto Express provides:
Protection for Sensitive Electronics: Enclosed trailers and secure tie-downs
Maintaining AI and Sensor Functionality: Experienced drivers handle vehicles carefully
Nationwide Service: Reliable transport across the United States
Real-Time Updates: Clients can track shipments at all times
Our ability to safely move AVRide vehicles demonstrates that Bigfella Auto Express is equipped to handle high-tech, autonomous, and AI-enabled transports.
