Tesla has officially launched its autonomous robotaxi service in Dallas and Houston, Texas, marking a significant expansion of its driverless ride-hailing network. This move extends Tesla's operational footprint to three major metropolitan areas in the state, following its initial rollout in Austin.
The announcement was made through a company social media post and featured a short video demonstrating Tesla vehicles operating without a human driver or safety monitor in the front seat. The footage underscored Tesla's growing confidence in its Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology and its readiness to scale autonomous mobility solutions.
The expansion represents a pivotal step in the commercialization of autonomous ride-hailing services, positioning Tesla as a stronger competitor in the evolving mobility sector.
