Waymo Leads Texas Robotaxi Push as Tesla Lags
TL;DR Summary
Texas DMV data show Waymo far ahead in robotaxi deployments: 577 Waymo vehicles versus 42 Tesla robotaxi, with Avride at 317 and Nuro at 47. The state also enacted a law requiring self-certification that AVs meet Level 4 SAE standards. Tesla’s Cybercab rollout is slow; Elon Musk had promised 500 robotaxis in Austin by 2025 but later trimmed to 60, and investors remain wary as Tesla pivots to supervised autonomy while rivals push ahead, despite safety recalls affecting the sector.
