Tesla to double Austin robotaxi fleet next month, Musk says

Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the company will double its robotaxi fleet in Austin, Texas, beginning next month, expanding service capacity significantly. The move comes after Tesla launched its self driving ride hailing service in Austin earlier this year, and follows recent permit approval in another U.S. state. Industry watchers say that doubling the fleet underscores Tesla’s commitment to scaling autonomous ride services despite regulatory scrutiny and ongoing safety driver requirements.
