Tesla said its robotaxi fleet surpassed 1 million fully unsupervised miles on September 3, 2026, up from 380,000 miles reported at its July 22 Q2 earnings call. The company added roughly 620,000 miles in about six weeks after shifting most operations outside the San Francisco Bay Area from in-vehicle safety monitors to fully driverless service. Tesla launched robotaxi rides in Austin around June 2025 with safety drivers, began unsupervised operations in early 2026, and expanded to Dallas, Houston, Miami, Orlando and Tampa, giving it service across six cities in Texas and Florida. Its authorized Texas fleet reached 420 vehicles, up tenfold from 42 when the state’s autonomous-vehicle disclosure law took effect on May 28, 2026, although approximately 200-plus vehicles were operating unsupervised and tracking data showed as few as 20 doing so in Austin during certain mid-2026 weeks. Tesla introduced its steering-wheel-free Cybercab at a September 3 event, with production underway at Giga Texas and the first vehicles entering service that day. Tesla said it recorded no major safety incidents, while acknowledging isolated incidents without disclosing their severity or nature. Waymo has a larger and more mature operation, including 577 Texas vehicles when the law took effect and thousands of autonomous cars across its broader network, as well as tens of millions of autonomous miles in markets including San Francisco, Phoenix and Los Angeles. Tesla uses cameras and neural networks rather than Waymo’s lidar-equipped vehicles, a lower-cost hardware approach that could require less capital to scale, but Tesla has not disclosed robotaxi revenue figures.
