"After launching Robotaxi in Austin in late June, Tesla followed up with a relatively quick expansion to the Bay Area of California. Both service areas are operating with a geofence that is expansive: In Texas, it is 173 square miles, while in the Bay Area, it is roughly 400 square miles. Tesla has been transparent that it is prioritizing safety, but it believes it can expand to basically any geographical location within the United States and find success with its Robotaxi suite."
"There have been plenty of reports out there that have speculated as to where Tesla would land next to test Robotaxi, and Nevada, Florida, Arizona, and New York have all been in the realm of possibility. These regions will need to approve Tesla for regulatory purposes before Robotaxi can officially operate. Tesla is still testing and performing validation in several regions, and in Tempe, Arizona, things are moving forward as a Model Y with a LiDAR rig was spotted performing ground truth"
Tesla expanded Robotaxi service to Austin and the Bay Area, operating large geofenced zones of roughly 173 and 400 square miles respectively. Tesla aims to scale Robotaxi across the United States and CEO Elon Musk said service could reach half of the U.S. population by year-end. The company is testing and validating in additional regions, with Nevada, Florida, Arizona, and New York cited as possibilities that require regulatory approval. Validation vehicles were spotted in Tempe, Arizona, where a Model Y carrying a LiDAR rig conducted ground-truth testing. Tesla uses LiDAR units during validation despite a vision-based production approach.
