New data from Texas has offered one of the clearest pictures yet of the self-driving vehicle industry in the United States. The figures show that Waymo, Alphabet's autonomous driving company, currently has a much larger fleet of registered autonomous vehicles than its competitors, including Tesla. According to data published through a new tracking platform created by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), Waymo has registered 577 autonomous vehicles in the state. That is significantly higher than other companies operating in the sector and highlights the company's growing presence in the commercial robotaxi market.
