For Tesla, autonomy is not a feature but the main event. The company's Robotaxi service launched in Austin, Texas, in June 2025, using Model Y crossovers running Tesla's Full Self-Driving software, initially with a safety monitor on board. The Cybercab, unveiled in October 2024 at an event held on a Hollywood studio lot, takes the idea further: a two-seat electric car with no steering wheel or pedals, designed from the start to be driven by software alone. Production began at Tesla's Texas factory in 2026.
Tesla's approach differs from that of rivals such as Waymo, which relies on lidar and detailed maps. Tesla uses cameras and neural networks trained on data from millions of customer cars, a strategy that is cheaper but has drawn skepticism from safety experts. Elon Musk has predicted fully autonomous driving many times over the past decade, and many of those predictions have not been met. Federal investigations into Tesla's driver-assistance systems, along with incidents involving Robotaxi vehicles, have kept regulators and critics closely engaged.
The Robotaxi service has expanded beyond Austin to other cities, and Tesla has begun offering rides in the Cybercab. The broader autonomous-taxi market includes Waymo, Amazon's Zoox, Baidu's Apollo Go and other Chinese operators, and competition for cities, regulators and riders is intensifying. Vehicles without manual controls still face regulatory hurdles for widespread deployment in the United States, and Tesla's progress is closely watched by investors who see autonomy as central to its valuation.
The coverage here includes service launches and expansions, rider experiences good and baffling, software releases, safety incidents, regulatory decisions, production news and a great deal of analyst commentary. Expect stories about how the Cybercab performs in real traffic, how Tesla's camera-only approach compares with Waymo's sensor-laden fleet, what local officials think of driverless cars on their streets and whether robotaxis can become a profitable business. For Tesla, the stakes are enormous: much of its stock-market value rests on the bet that a car without a steering wheel will one day be ordinary.
Tesla's driverless bet: a Robotaxi service that began in Austin in 2025 and the two-seat Cybercab built with no steering wheel or pedals.
