"Tesla completed the self-certification process for the robotaxi in Nevada, a DMV representative told Business Insider. This step means the company can deploy an autonomous car on Nevada roads, but it still needs approval from the Nevada Transportation Authority to operate commercially. The NTA has not responded to requests for comment from Business Insider. Clearing self-certification in Nevada comes as CEO Elon Musk aims to expand ride-hailing in up to 10 metropolitan areas by the end of the year,"
"On Monday, Tesla received approval from the Arizona Department of Transportation to operate ride-hailing services in the state. It also submitted a "self-certification" to test its robotaxis in the state with safety drivers, a spokesperson for the department told Business Insider. Meanwhile, in California, a robotaxi war is breaking out. Uber, Tesla, and Waymo are fighting to shape robotaxi regulations in the state."
Tesla completed Nevada DMV self-certification for its robotaxi, allowing deployment of autonomous cars on Nevada roads while requiring Nevada Transportation Authority approval for commercial operations. The company plans to expand ride-hailing into up to 10 metropolitan areas by year-end and to build a fleet exceeding 1,000 vehicles. Robotaxis already operate commercially in San Francisco and Austin, and hiring is underway in Las Vegas, Dallas, Houston, Tampa, and Orlando. Arizona approved Tesla to operate ride-hailing and accepted a self-certification to test with safety drivers. California faces regulatory competition among Uber, Tesla, Waymo, and new entrants such as Zoox.
