OOS Auto Cab A taxi with nobody at the wheel.
OOS Auto Cab adds driverless cabs to OOS Ride. A rider books one from the rider side of the app, watches it come, steps in through a door that opens by itself and rides to their destination. Nobody is at the wheel, and nobody has to be.
It is an add-on. It needs OOS Ride, and OOS Ride runs exactly as before without it. Install the add-on and the service appears in the app on its own.
It drives itself, like a good taxi driver.
It stops for traffic and for people, steers round a parked car and pulls in at the kerb the way a taxi would.
Around that sits everything a paid service needs: an upfront fare, a receipt, refunds by rule, one admin page and a fleet you control.

Ride
XL
Black- Auto Cab
In the rider app the Auto Cab sits beside Ride, XL and Black, with its fare, the short walk to the pickup and the arrival time shown before you book. Tap Book and the app shows "Finding your Auto Cab" at once. You have an arrival time straight away, and the cab on your map and minimap as it comes into the world. Not sure which car is yours? Find my cab flashes the hazards and chirps the horn.
- The fare, the arrival time and the progress bar all come from one route.
- Cancellation and no-show fees are yours to set, and a cab that stalls makes leaving free.
Pickup
It pulls up like a taxi
Hazards on, in at the kerb, beside you.
Near the stop it pulls in to the kerb at a spot measured for it. When it arrives on the rider's side it stops beside them. When it arrives on the far side of a street it stops on its own side, and the rider crosses, as with any taxi. From the far carriageway of a divided road it comes round to the rider's side. It indicates into the kerb and away from it, and when the kerb is lined with parked cars it stops beside them with its hazards on.
Doors
Doors that open for you
Nobody touches a handle.
As the rider walks up, or when the cab pulls up near where they wait, the door on their side swings slowly open, and it closes by itself once they are seated. Getting out, it opens by itself and closes once they have stepped clear. Nobody opens or closes a door by hand, on either side of the car. A door opens only for the people on the booking, and never while the car is moving.
- Press the exit key while the cab drives and it pulls over at the next safe kerb and opens the door. Press it twice while it is moving and it is the normal exit, so nobody is ever kept in a car.
- Riders in a cab are not thrown through the windscreen, and the player's own seatbelt setting is put back when they get out. A server with its own seatbelt script can switch this off.
Screen
The screen in the cab
It already knows your name.
A screen is painted onto the car's own display, behind its glass. It greets the rider by name and runs the boarding checklist. Once the ride starts it shows the live map in the app's navigation view, and a 3D scene of the car in its own paint with the traffic and the people around it, out to 70 metres (230 feet). At the end it shows which side to step out on. Light by day and dark at night, or fixed, as you choose.
- The scene draws only what the car could see: nothing on another level, nothing behind a building.
- In automatic mode the screen is light from 07:00 to 19:59 on the game clock.
You can changeThe live screen, the car's own screen or none, its colours, and whether it shows the traffic.

Report a problem does not file a note.
Depending on what is wrong it unsticks the car, reroutes it, calms the driving, brings the cab closer to the rider, opens a door, asks the rider out, resets the screen or swaps the car for another one out of everybody's sight, and it tells the rider what it found and did. A topic that could not do anything in the current phase is not offered.
Driving
It drives like a taxi should
Three paces, and you pick one.
The cab goes straight to the stop. It stops for traffic and for people, stops at red lights, steers round a parked car and gets out of a tight spot, and the rest of the traffic stops for it as it would for a player's car. You choose one of three driving styles for the whole service.
Style
How it drives
In town, by default
Follows every rule
Keeps to the limit and stops for the lights
about 60 km/habout 37 mph
Follows most rules
A little over the limit, and through an amber light it could only stop for by braking hard
about 66 km/habout 41 mph
As fast as possible
Well over the limit, swerving round slower traffic and not stopping at red lights. It still stops for any car or person in its way
about 96 km/habout 60 mph
Within about 90 metres (300 feet) of the stop, every style slows to a taxi's 40 km/h (25 mph). The speed of each class of road is a setting.
Appearing
Nobody sees it appear, nobody sees it go
A car that was never there, and then is.
A cab appears out of everybody's sight, well away from its rider, and then drives to them through the streets like any other car. Nobody ever sees one pop into the road. After a ride it waits for the rider to step clear, shuts its doors, drives away and is removed only once nobody can see it go. A cab that is still driving off takes the next booking nearby, so no new car has to appear at all.
Fares
One route, a fair price
The fare, the arrival time and the progress bar are the same route.
The fare is quoted before the ride, from the route the cab will drive, and that same route measures progress. A detour, a missed turn or a recovery manoeuvre never makes an early exit cost more: a partial charge can only be lowered by how the car drove, never raised. If the car cannot carry on, that is the service's failure and the rider is charged accordingly.
Fare, quoted before the ride$24.00
ArrivalRead from this route
End the ride here and payLess than the fare
Money is charged once and refunded by rule, and a refund owed to a character who was offline is paid when they come back. Every ride ends with a receipt: the priced route, the distance, the duration and the times.
- Fares can go nowhere, to a society account or to an event of your own.
- A rider who goes down before the cab has left with them is cancelled for free. Under way it is priced as an early exit, so nobody can ride for nothing by dying near the destination. A cab stands by with its door open for somebody who is down in it.
Seats
No driver's seat to steal
Two passenger seats and nothing else a player can reach.
The cab has two passenger seats, no driver's seat and not even a steering wheel. There is simply nothing to take over. The second seat goes only to a guest the rider invites and who accepts.
- A player who did not book the cab finds the door shut and gets a notice.
- Over their shoulder: a car with nobody in the driver's seat.
Running the fleet
A service that looks after itself, in your colours, next to your other scripts.
It gets itself out of trouble
- A stuck cab reverses and re-routes.
- An empty cab repositions while nobody is looking.
- A cab that cannot continue pulls over, unlocks its doors and ends the ride fairly.
Plays well with other scripts
The cab is an unusual vehicle, so it is built to get along with the scripts that notice it.
- Key scripts
- It carries the marker that qbx_vehiclekeys and recent qb-vehiclekeys honour.
- Fuel scripts
- The cab's tank stays full.
- Seatbelt scripts
- The cab's own protection can be switched off.
- Anticheat and cleanup scripts
- Each needs one line of setup at most.
Your fleet, your look
All on the Auto Cab page of the admin panel.
Run it your way
- How many cabs run at once, where they may go and what hours they work.
- Whether cabs are offered only when no human driver is nearby, so your own taxi drivers are never undercut.
- How long a rider waits, from a shortest to a longest wait, and the boarding time and automatic start.
- Which controls riders get, the prices, and the cancellation and no-show fees.
- Where the fares go: nowhere, a society account, or an event of your own.
- The driving style, and whether the cabin screen runs.
Make the fleet yours
- Paint: one colour, the model's six factory colours, or a palette of your own, drawn per cab.
- The plain car or the lettered livery. Clean at every pickup, or kept clean whatever the weather.
- Plates in your own format (a digit, a letter or either, up to eight characters), numbered in order or at random, on any of the game's thirteen plate designs.
- Service name, vehicle name and accent colour are yours, and every line of text is set in OOS Ride's panel in OOS Ride's language. Notices reach riders through your own notification system, never the game's feed.
Build a fleet
A palette of your own, drawn per cab, and plates in your own format.
Paint
Add a colour
Plate format
Tap a position to switch it: 9 is a digit, A a letter, ? either.
Three cabs drawn at random from your palette and your plate format. Plates can also be numbered in order, on any of the game's thirteen plate designs.
The details
A rider who goes down.
The cab stands by with the door open instead of driving off.
Notices through your system.
Every notice a rider gets comes through your server's notification resource.
Plate designs.
Thirteen of the game's designs. Seven of them need game build 3095 or later, and the admin page marks them on an older build.
Quiet when idle.
With no cab known to a player's game, the add-on asks the game almost nothing.
A fleet you can watch.
The dashboard of the admin panel shows the add-on's status.
Requirements
Two things, and the first is the one that matters: the Auto Cab is an add-on for OOS Ride.
| Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|
| OOS Ride | It finds the add-on by itself and shows its status on its dashboard |
| FXServer with OneSync | The cab is created by the server |
Questions
Does it need OOS Ride?
Yes. It is an add-on, and OOS Ride detects it automatically. OOS Ride works exactly as before without it.
Can a player steal the cab?
No. There is no driver's seat and no steering wheel to take, and a player who did not book the cab finds the door shut.
Will it undercut my human taxi drivers?
Only if you want it to. You can offer the Auto Cab only when no human driver is nearby.
How does it drive?
Like a taxi, in one of three styles you choose: by every rule, by most rules, or as fast as possible.
Can I rebrand it?
Yes. Service name, vehicle name, accent colour, paint, livery, plates and every line of text.
Where does the money go?
Nowhere, to a society account, or to an event of your own. Charges happen once and refunds follow a rule.
What if the cab gets stuck?
It reverses and re-routes. If it cannot continue, it pulls over, unlocks and ends the ride fairly, and the rider is not charged for the service's failure.
Can riders bring luggage or use the radio?
Yes. The radio works as in any car in the game, and there is a boot for luggage.
Does it work in a crowded area?
Yes. The cab only ever appears where nobody can see it, so in a crowd it can take a little longer to arrive.
