"Tesla has officially landed approval to operate its Robotaxi ride-hailing service in its third U.S. state, as it has landed a regulatory green light from the State of Arizona's Department of Transportation. Tesla has been working to expand to new U.S. states after launching in Texas and California earlier this year. Recently, it said it was hoping to land in Nevada, Arizona, and Florida, expanding to five new cities in those three states."
"The interesting thing about the Arizona approval is the fact that Tesla has not received an approval for any specific city; it appears that it can operate statewide. However, early on, Tesla will likely confine its operation to just one or two cities to keep things safe and controlled. Over the past few months, Robotaxi mules have been spotted in portions of Phoenix and surrounding cities, such as Scottsdale,"
Tesla received regulatory approval from the Arizona Department of Transportation to operate its Robotaxi ride-hailing service statewide, becoming the third U.S. state with approval after Texas and California. The company has been pursuing expansion into Nevada, Arizona, and Florida and aims to add five new cities across those states. The Arizona permit appears to allow statewide operations, though initial deployments will likely be limited to one or two cities to manage safety and control. Robotaxi test vehicles have been observed in Phoenix and Scottsdale. Tesla plans to operate in Arizona similarly to its Texas program, which differs from its California approach.
