2026-04-18 13:05

Tesla announced on April 18 that its unsupervised robotaxi service is now live in Dallas and Houston, expanding beyond Austin where it launched in January 2026. The Dallas geofence covers University Park, Uptown, Downtown, and several adjacent neighborhoods; Houston covers parts of northwest Houston. Reuters reports Tesla shared service boundary maps but disclosed no fleet size or pricing; crowdsourced tracker data suggests only a single vehicle per city at launch, compared to 46 active vehicles in Austin. TechCrunch notes Tesla's Austin operations have logged 14 crashes since launch according to a February regulatory filing.
