Tesla Robotaxi Expands to Dallas and Houston — Now Operating Unsupervised in Three Texas Cities

TechCrunch·high signal

Tesla launched its robotaxi service in Dallas and Houston on April 18, bringing its unsupervised autonomous ride-hailing to three cities after debuting in Austin last year. Crowdsourced tracking shows only one active vehicle in each new city at launch versus ~46 in Austin, but Tesla is already staging for Phoenix and plans Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Las Vegas later this year. The expansion marks Tesla's fastest geographic rollout since removing safety drivers in January 2026.
