Tesla has released new details about 17 previously redacted crash reports tied to its self-driving taxi testing in Austin, Texas — and some of the newly public accounts are raising fresh questions about whether the technology is ready. According to a report from Electrek, the filings show that many of the incidents involved other drivers hitting stopped Tesla vehicles.

One stopped Tesla was hit by a pedicab, and another was sideswiped by a turning city bus. Some of the most notable reports, however, involved Tesla's own systems or remote backup operators. One July 2025 incident involved a safety monitor requesting assistance after the vehicle stopped moving. A teleoperator then remotely took control of
