Tesla is rolling out its robotaxis in Dallas and Houston, the electric vehicle maker said on Saturday, marking further expansion of its nascent service in the US since its Austin, Texas, launch last year.
Tesla’s official robotaxi account on X announced the launch and posted two videos showing its best-selling Model Y SUVs running in the two citiesIt posted two map images outlining service boundaries, but did not disclose further details such as fleet size or pricing.Tesla’s move comes as the robotaxi business has regained momentum with Alphabet’sExpanding the robotaxi service and wider adoption of its full self-driving software, a version of which underpins the technology, are key to Tesla’s growth strategy as Musk has pivoted the company’s focus to AI and robotics from EVs.Tesla first deployed a small group of self-driving taxis in an area of Austin with human safety monitors and other restrictions. The company has since widened the service area and started removing the monitors. Last year, Tesla also started a ride-hailing service in the San Francisco Bay Area. Musk has promised to expand the robotaxi service rapidly in the US, but missed earlier predictions of its robotaxis operating widely in multiple US metro areas by the end of 2025.
