Tesla Launches Robotaxi in West Miami After April Rollout in 2 Texas Cities

3 articles · Updated · Mashable · Jul 5

Summary

  • West Miami is now live for Tesla’s Robotaxi service, with the company posting a map that shows hailing limited to a relatively small service area.
  • The Miami launch extends Tesla’s gradual U.S. expansion after limited rollouts in Houston and Dallas in April and Austin’s move from limited to full availability last month.
  • Tesla’s cars in the service operate without safety monitors, adding scrutiny as the company pushes autonomous rides into one of America’s most traffic-congested cities.
  • Orlando, Tampa and Phoenix are among cities that could get Robotaxi service later this year, though Tesla has previously struggled to meet rollout timelines.
