Tesla said its robotaxi fleet has surpassed 1 million miles of fully unsupervised autonomous driving as of September 3, 2026, up from 380,000 miles reported during its July 22 Q2 earnings call. The fleet added roughly 620,000 miles in about six weeks after Tesla moved 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 has since expanded to Dallas, Houston, Miami, Orlando, and Tampa. The service now operates across six cities in Texas and Florida with approximately 200-plus unsupervised vehicles, far fewer than Waymo's thousands of autonomous cars. Tesla AI VP Ashok Elluswamy highlighted the milestone at a Cybercab event, where Tesla publicly debuted its steering-wheel-free Cybercab, a vehicle built specifically for autonomous operation. Production is underway at Giga Texas, and the new vehicles entered service on the same day as the million-mile announcement. Tesla said it recorded no major safety incidents during its autonomous operations, although isolated incidents have been documented without details on their severity or nature. The company operates mainly in warm-weather cities with wide roads and predictable traffic, while Waymo has logged tens of millions of autonomous miles in more varied markets including San Francisco, Phoenix, and Los Angeles. Tesla uses cameras and neural networks, unlike Waymo's lidar-equipped vehicles, creating a lower-cost hardware approach that could require less capital to expand. Tesla has reportedly seen substantial growth in paid rides but has not disclosed robotaxi revenue figures.
