Tesla Robotaxi expands to 2 new cities, but it looks like there’s just 1 driverless car in each There’s an unsupervised Tesla Robotaxi service in both Houston and Austin, but, with just one vehicle so far in each city, it will be difficult to find. Tesla says it has expanded its Robotaxi service to two new cities, with Dallas and Houston joining existing offerings in Austin and the Bay Area. A video posted by the company shows a Model Y driving through both cities without a driver, and several riders have posted videos of their own rides. The catch: availability appears extremely limited. Based on early data from Robotaxi Tracker, there may be just one vehicle operating in each city so far, making it tough to actually get a ride.

While it’s normal for an autonomous taxi service to start with a few cars in a limited area and to scale over time, it’s important to note that Tesla has been extremely slow in this regard. In Austin, for example, the Robotaxi service launched in June with about 10 cars. Nearly a year later, there are currently 45 in the fleet and, despite promises to the contrary, most of those vehicles still have a human safety monitor in the front passenger seat. On a recent trip to the Bay Area, where Tesla operates a service more akin to Uber with approximately 500 supervised Robotaxis, I frequently received “High service demand. Please come back later” messages at all hours of
