Tesla expands robotaxi to Miami, pushing autonomous ride-hailing
Tesla said its robotaxi service is now available in Miami, marking an expansion of its unsupervised autonomous ride-hailing operations. The company launched the service in Austin, Texas in June and had announced plans to expand to Dallas and Houston. Tesla's robotaxi push is a key part of CEO Elon Musk's broader shift from electric vehicles toward AI and robotics. The company is using a version of its self-driving software in these vehicles, making adoption of that technology a central business focus. The move also reflects accelerating competition in the robotaxi sector from players like Alphabet's Waymo and Amazon's Zoox.
Musk said in May he expects fully self-driving cars without human safety monitors to become more widespread in the U.S. later this year. Tesla posted record second-quarter deliveries that beat Wall Street estimates, suggesting strong momentum behind the company's expansion efforts.
