Tesla Robotaxi is an autonomous ride-hailing service launched by Tesla, Inc., utilizing vehicles with Full Self-Driving (FSD) software.
Debuted on June 22, 2025, in Austin, Texas, the service operates with a small fleet of 10-20 Model Y vehicles in a geofenced area, with safety monitors in the passenger seat. Users access rides via the Robotaxi app, offering features like climate control, seat adjustments, and trip monitoring.
Priced initially at a promotional $4.20 per ride, the service aims to expand with the Cybercab, a fully autonomous two-seater vehicle, by 2026.
Despite early incidents like traffic violations and phantom braking, Tesla envisions a network where owners can add their vehicles to generate income.
