Data Shows Tesla Robotaxis in Austin May Have Achieved Fully Unsupervised Operation

Summary

On August 20, IT Home reported that seven months after Elon Musk announced the removal of in-car safety operators for Tesla Robotaxis in Austin, there are signs that the local Robotaxi service has finally entered a truly driverless phase. Ethan McCanna, creator of Robotaxi Tracker, revealed that over the past two weeks, all 170 Tesla Robotaxi trips monitored in Austin had no in-car safety operator, involving 54 vehicles. Similar changes have occurred in other cities like Dallas and Houston, with about 30 driverless Teslas operating in the past week.
