Tesla Robotaxi

Tesla Robotaxi is a ride-hailing service operated by Tesla, Inc. that utilizes its vehicles equipped with the Full Self-Driving (FSD) software. The service launched in a limited capacity in Austin, Texas, on June 22, 2025.

The service represents a key part of Tesla CEO Elon Musk's long-term strategy for the company, which envisions a future where Tesla owners can add their personal vehicles to a shared autonomous ride-hailing network. The initial launch in Austin operates with a human "safety monitor" in the front passenger seat. The service's debut on June 22, 2025, was marked by significant media attention and scrutiny, with early riders documenting incidents such as the vehicle driving on the wrong side of the road, phantom braking, dropping passengers off in intersections and committing traffic violations that drew the attention of federal regulators, such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to investigate these issues.

The Robotaxi network is eventually expected to work with all current Tesla vehicles, but is currently being focused on the Model Y which makes up the entirety of Teslas Robotaxi Fleet. Tesla is expected to add the Cybercab when it begins volume production in April with the Model 3, Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck expected in the future. During Teslas We, Robot event in October 2024 Tesla also announced the Robovan which is expected to be added to Teslas Robotaxi network when production on the vehicle begins. However, no timelines for production were given at the event.
