Tesla Robotaxi (Cybercab) Launch in Austin

Tesla launched a limited commercial robotaxi service in Austin, Texas in June 2025 using its purpose-built Cybercab vehicle, which operates without steering wheel or pedals, relying on Tesla's Full Self-Driving neural network. The service accumulated 1 million passenger miles in its first 90 days with no reported serious incidents, marking a significant validation of Tesla's vision-only autonomy approach. This launch is 50% cheaper per mile than typical ride-sharing services, offering a $0.30 per mile cost, and outperforms #3's autonomous pilot by achieving Level 4 autonomy in real-world conditions without reliance on lidar sensors.
